Ahead of the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans, team owner Colin Kolles announced that the team would not be participating in the full WEC season, and would instead participate in selected races, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as the team sought to develop a new car for the Le Mans Hypercar regulations. Initially, the team's entry for the 2020 Le Mans was placed on the reserve list, before being promoted following the withdrawal of the SRT41 Garage 56 entry, and the Porsche North America GTE-Pro entries. Prior to the Automobile Club I'Ouest's confirmation of the team's promotion to the official entry list, the team resumed its testing programme with a new Le Mans aero package.
