HVM Status GP withdraws from WEC

The HVM Status GP squad has withdrawn its LMP2 entry for the World Endurance Championship ahead of next week's Silverstone opener.

British-based Status, which teamed up with the HVM IndyCar squad late last year for a joint WEC campaign, said, "The HVM Status Lola-Judd B12/80 LMP2 entry and team are in place and ready to compete, but the final budget raised by the combined efforts of the team and potential drivers was not sufficient to race competitively for a full season."
