Speaking after this month’s two-day group test for all GTP contenders in the IMSA SportsCar Championship at Daytona, Leschiutta said that his BMW M Team RLL’s test programme has been hugely challenging due to compressed timeframes.
This came after an attempted 24-hour test at Sebring was cut short last month by gearbox issues related to the electric motor in the new common hybrid system, as well as an engine failure with the test car.
