I did wonder after the race yesterday whether there might be an issue. That's a shame.

Looks like they need another silver driver. Or they could fall back on a bronze guy.

Perhaps someone from their ELMS GTC team? Paul van Splunteren?

Was thinking the same, he has after all driven at Le Mans before.

Could he mean Vaxiviere? Alternatively, I'm wondering if Prospeed got hold of a 991. Hopefully it's nothing 'major'.

Entry change sounds like a car/team change to me but it could really be anything.

Sadly it is another withdrawal. DSC reports Strakka have pulled their entry, and the replacement is... Krohn Racing.

EDIT: And a giant amount of egg on face for Dome too, if the car couldn't be readied in time for LM.

Let's not be too hasty to blame Dome entirely for this withdrawal.

From what most of these articles are implying...a strong possibility behind this withdrawal would be that the car was a complete write-off after the Spa crash. And considering this car is relatively new, there is now no way they could have prepared a completely new car in a week (For Test Day) and in two weeks for the big race itself.

Even still, this is sad news.

Genuinely gutted for Strakka, less so for Dome to be honest. There's a lesson to be learned from Rebellion and their tentative running of the R-One at Spa.

Also means anyone who hasn't yet put in their Le Mans predictions will have a massive advantage in picking the first retirement

Strakka's statement (link above) ends with this rather strange line:

Quote:
Strakka Racing remains very committed to the FIA World Endurance Championship and will be working closely with the organisers to ensure the team is back racing as soon as the issues from Spa have been resolved.
Which makes it sound like something broke going into Eau Rouge, so possibly a design issue with the car.
