Larbre Competition missed Saturday’s qualifying session for the Barcelona
1000kms after a technical problem forced them to change the engine in the team’s
Saleen S7R.
Patrick Bornhauser managed just a handful of laps in Saturday’s practice
session, without setting a competitive time.
Team Principal Jack
Leconte explained the situation: “We had a problem around the cylinder
head in practice this morning,” he said. “It’s not a major thing, but
unfortunately it is something that cannot be fixed here at the circuit. That
meant we have had to change the engine completely and it was impossible to do
that in time for qualifying this afternoon.”
However, with a six hour,
1000km race in prospect , the team is eagerly looking forward to Sunday.
