After missing the first round, in which the team ran the Oreca 03, the car with its livery was unveiled at Imola.[1] SMP Racing entered a pair of BR01s at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and a single prototype at the 6 Hours of Bahrain.[2]
2016
SMP Racing entered the 2016 24 Hours of Daytona, ahead of their planned 2-car assault on the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship season in 2016. Mikhail Aleshin took pole position[3] in a wet qualifying session however the car fell back during the race, eventually finishing 38th overall.
