ELMS GTE team JMW Motorsport received its 2019 Le Mans 24 Hours trophy for finishing second in GTE Am today at Barcelona.
ACO President Pierre Fillon awarded the trophy to team owner Jim McWhirter, and trophies to drivers Jeff Segal and Wei Lu at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya ahead of tomorrow’s four-hour ELMS race.
This presentation comes after the result for this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours was declared final.
Jeff Segal, Rodrigo Baptista and Wei Lu were originally classified third, before the class-winning Keating Motorsports Ford GT was disqualified the day after the race. Thus, JMW has now claimed the second step on the LMGTE Am podium with a 32nd overall finish.
The new winner in the class, Team Project 1, will receive its trophy during the Prologue for the 2019-2020 FIA World Endurance Championship season on 23-24 July at the circuit in Barcelona.
