Team WRT celebrates superb Le Mans 24 Hours debut with LMP2 win!

A dream come true: Team WRT’s craziest aspirations were fulfilled in its first Le Mans 24 Hours participation, as the Belgian squad dominated the LMP2 class for three-quarters of the race and took a stunning success with Robin Frijns, Ferdinand Habsburg and Charles Milesi. 

It was a Sunday of strong emotions, in all senses, as Team WRT was heading to an incredible 1-2 with its two Oreca 07 Gibson, but the screenplay had kept a final ‘coup de théâtre’ perfectly in the style of the race where anything can happen. In the very last lap, car #41, driven by Yifei Ye, who was in the LMP2 lead ahead of car #31, suddenly came to a halt, depriving the Chinese, Louis Delétraz and Robert Kubica of what seemed a certain win. Luckily, car #31 could take the baton, with Robin Frijns crossing the line a mere 0.7 second ahead the closest rival!
