The ByKolles-run squad returned to the WEC this year with the non-hybrid Vandervell 680 LMH, the successor to the troubled CLM P1/01 LMP1 car that failed to finish Le Mans 24 Hours in six successive attempts.
Vanwall’s season so far has been plagued by a number of reliability issues, most notably a brake explosion at Portimao that led to Jacques Villeneuve’s race-ending crash and an engine failure at the Le Mans 24 Hours that forced the team into another retirement.
