It was quite an eventful race for HRT filled with FCY and safety cars. The team faced many setbacks such as on lap 69 Michele ended up in the gravel at T6 due to a collision and dropped down several positions but the car managed to rejoin but it was 57th (6th in class) and a lap down.
The team worked very hard throughout the night using every opportunity and wave by to try get back onto the lead lap. After 12 hours during the safety car restart on lap 240 Arjun manages to get the car back into the lead lap. The team fought to the very end despite the car having damage and on Lap 441 the car getting a 30 second pit stop penalty due to multiple track limits violations, to bring the car home 3rd in class.
Congratulations to the entire team, you guys fought really hard and should be very proud of yourselves 🥳🤍🖤
