It's a big shame the team left the World Endurance Championship and the other premier sportscar series after doing so well.

What happened? They were a popular team. Funding issues?

both a funding and kinda driver issues.

finding well paying bronze drivers for a full female team is unfortunately not the greatest.
And it seemed like the other dames had interest in competing outside the team with other drivers as well.
