The Le Mans 24 Hours' plans to add a hydrogen category will be postponed one more year, but the project head thinks it's 'not a big deal'.
Le Mans organiser the Automobile Club de l'Ouest set up a working group in 2017 to establish a zero emissions class at the famous endurance race, and had targeted a launch in 2024 after revealing plans for Red Bull Advanced Technologies and ORECA to design a concept chassis.
The ACO's hydrogen consultant Bernard Niclot told Motorsport.com:"I don't think we will have the racing category in 2025, it's too short now. "Second, we really believe that a hydrogen car can be competitive in Le Mans against gasoline cars, but it is very challenging. "It's clear it's not easy for anybody to build such a car and to be sure to be competitive. And the OEMs that want to go in this category, somehow they take some risk.
"At the end this is good news to focus momentum on endurance racing and the H2 programme can only profit from this," he said.
