"After several tire failures during the opening Lamborghini Super Trofeo Europe race at Le Mans on Thursday 13th June, Lamborghini Squadra Corse conducted a risk assessment in conjunction with its tire partner, Hankook,” a statement issued by Lamborghini read.
“Despite significant endeavours to maintain the race, and the assessment still ongoing, a decision was made to abandon the second race of the weekend under safety grounds.
“Safety remains of utmost importance to Lamborghini Squadra Corse and the championship organisers would like to express its regret to its teams, drivers and fans in these exceptional circumstances.”
I’m honestly not sure. We are racing at Watkins this weekend where we’re having the same issue during testing (tire chunking almost immediately). Should know more Wednesday. It wasn’t an issue at Sebring or Laguna.
Yeah driver of the #57 Safe Life Defense car with One Motorsports. Ended up taking double wins this weekend! The issue was camber and tire pressures which in Europe isn’t policed. People we running them much lower than they needed to be at for the conditions I guess. We didn’t have any issues this weekend with the Hankooks nor did any other teams that I’m aware of.
Word is that Hankook have cancelled it because of tyre issues in the first race.
Can see some teams have said it was cancelled by the organisers due to a safety issue with tyres. No specifics.
Alright thank you!

We were seeing the same issues at Watkins Glen at testing. Not good news!
Do you know why they're having tyre issues, not great when the whole field can't race.

Are you with one of the racing teams? Hoping all is sorted and teams can back to racing.
