What is going on at HRT? As Motorsport-Total.com has learned from a reliable source, the members of the DTM engineering team of the Ford outfit are said to have submitted their resignations together a few days ago, on July 31. At the center is said to be experienced chief engineer Laurent Fedacou, who has been working for the Nurburgring-based team since the end of 2021.
The Frenchman also sets the technical direction for the Ford team's other GT3 programs. In addition to Fedacou, who worked as a Class 1 race engineer for the former Audi works team Phoenix until 2019 and then at Venturi in Formula E, four other engineers - all French - are also said to be leaving.
