Something happened what was expected by everyone which has followed the team announcements during the last months and weeks.
As the team reduced their LM effort to one single car they mentioned they will be soon out for testing further upgrades on their car. Since that time nothing was communicated and the car seems to be not on any test track, so it was pretty clear it will not make it.

Nice to remember the boasted words of Ginetta during the presentation of their project. "We don't see any reason why the car should not be able to beat the Toyota right out of the box". Nice joke - the most ill-fated project since the Nissan LMP.

Sad for all the great guys involved in this project which did a great job. The Ginetta was for sure the most advanced LMP1 privateer car but the team managed it to show nearly nothing. Well done
