It seems that the YART – Yamaha Official Team EWC likes to add a little dose of suspense for aficionados of the world endurance championship!
Pole position holder after carrying out private tests on the Most circuit in the Czech Republic, the Yamaha #7 once again experienced problems starting when the red lights went out.
Marvin Fritz on his handlebars, however, she showed an impressive pace to climb from 20th place to the detached quartet at the head of the race, the BMW #37 preceding the Honda #5, the Yamaha #77 and the Suzuki #1.
The junction took place just before the first refueling stops, inaugurated by the #5 Honda after 33 laps among the leading men. Unfortunately, once again, the YART #7 is having problems restarting after its refueling, this time with Karel Hanika at its handlebars: A good part of the time caught up by Marvin Fritz on the track goes up in smoke. in the pit lane!
Why is starting that YART Yamaha such a challenge?
More precious seconds lost because of that! 😭
