👑Jota boss Sam Hignett has no regrets about how LeMans24 ended for his team, having been “kings of the world” for an hour with its customer Porsche 963. 👑
Jota was able to turn around the car in just 20 minutes, losing four laps to the leaders in the process, before further issues and another crash while da Costa was at the wheel left the #38 crew as the 40th and final classified finisher.
“I think we should be proud of what we showed: our pace, and the fact we came from last to get to the front after four hours,” he said, referring to the fact that the Jota car didn’t set a lap in first qualifying due to a hybrid issue. He told Autosport that he was struggling with visibility issues as he suffered his off on what was his in-lap.
The Jota boss went on to explain that the “real killer” for its hopes was a malfunctioning accident data reporter, which required a 40-minute stop to replace in the night:"We noticed it when Will was in the car, we could see the medical light flickering.”
