British teenager and Le Mans rookie Ed Morris has spoken of a Le Mans 24 Hours that promised so much but delivered so little for him and his 🍎hard-trying G Force team.

Even though he missed out on becoming the youngest Le Mans driver ever by a matter of days, the young Englishman still established himself as🥂 the quickest of the G Force Courage C65-Judd drivers, setting times that belied his tender 18 years in 🍒a manner more associated with an experienced veteran.

Sharing the Belgian run Courage with Jean Francois Leroch and Frank Hahn Englishman Morris was charged with starting the #35 machine on his Le Mans debut 🌳but sadly, the teams problems began before the green flag waved and didn't let up until the car was retired shortly after night fell over La Sarthe.

"It was disastrous," a dejected Morris told Radio Le Mans. "It's a shame but we had problems from the start. I'm most gutted that I didn't cross the start/finish l𓄧ine."

As 49 other cars roared into life Morris was forced to bring the #35 machine onto pit road for the first o👍f several long pitstops in the first hour that restricted him to just a handful of laps.

"The wheel speed sensor and the crank sensor were out of s𝔉ynchronisation," explained Morris. 🐻"That caused the car to keep cutting out and it took the tea, two hours to fix it."

Plum last a🐬nd many laps behind the rest of the field b𝓰efore the race even got going, the team eventually managed to complete 47 laps before more problems intervened.

"The🐷 gearbox then developed a problem," Morris continued. "That put the caꦬr out."

In actuality the team were all set to fix the problems but the combination of a lengthy repair job and the fact that ♕the team were already nearly 100 laps behind the leaders meant that there would be no way to complete enough laps to be classified as a finisher, leaving the Belgian team to pack up early after their second Le Mans nightmare in as many y𒁏ears.
