Team Dyson Racing, which planned to run two LMP1 Lola-Mazda prototypes in the 24 Hours of Le Mans has decided to withdraw its cars.

The American team, which won the title in the American Le Mans Series last season, failed to find the sponsorship needed to contest the French endurance classic event.

Regular ALMS drivers Chris Dyson and Guy Smith were supposed to drive one of the two cars.

Two teams that were on the reserve list are now allowed to race in June : Status’ Lola-Judd and Murphy Prototypes’ Oreca-Nissan.
