24 Jan 2018|1,151 views
Ginetta has completed its first high-speed test of its all new Le Mans racer, the G60-LT-P1. The G60, whose name reflects the fact that it's 60 years since Ginetta began making cars, is a non-hybrid LMP1 design, created and built entirely in-house at Ginetta's Leeds factory. It completed its first runs at the nearby Leeds East Airport.
Unveiled earlier this month at the Racing Car Show in Birmingham's NEC, the G60 compete against Toyota's hybrid TS050, the main class contender of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
The G60 will tackle a unique 2018-19 WEC 'super series' of eight races beginning at Spa in May, including Le Mans in June and finishing in June 2019 with a second visit to Le Mans. This transitional calendar is designed to position Le Mans in June as the WEC season's final event in the future. From 2019-20, the WEC season will start in October, probably in Asia, and conclude at Le Mans the following June.
