The revived Isotta Fraschini marque is close to finalising its plans to run a Le Mans Hypercar in the WEC.
Isotta is close to deciding between two teams bidding to run a solo four-wheel-drive hybrid LMH for the Italian brand in next year's WEC, according to new general manager Claudio Berro.
Berro, who joined Isotta at the end of October to work on the LMH project undertaken in collaboration with engineering specialist Michelotto, would not be drawn on the identity of the potential teams ahead of a conclusion of a deal. "It was clear when I joined that it would be impossible to create our own team in the time available, especially for a high-level championship like the WEC," he explained.
Berro insisted that the Isotta LMH remains on schedule to be ready to race by round three of the 2023 WEC at Spa at the end of April, the timeline laid down by the manufacturer on the announcement of the project in October.Photo by: James Gasperotti /"I think in two months' time the car should be running on track, by the end of February," he said.
