However, on 15 April 2014 it was announced by team principal Nick Levantis that the car would miss the first 2 rounds of the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship, due to teething problems and a lack of running of the car. The car was originally to debut at Le Mans, but this was subsequently cancelled, due to extensive revisions to the rear geometry of the car, and long lead times for the parts to arrive, alongside a desire to complete a further test programme. Ultimately, the car would not race in 2014, after a planned debut at the 6 Hours of Sao Paulo failed, due to a homologation issue with the headrest of the car, in spite of the car running well at a preparation test for its intended debut, covering 3500 km at the Hungaroring.
