The Yoshimura Suzuki Endurance Racing Team Motul fought valiantly but was unable to defend its title chances at the Bol d’Or at the Paul Ricard circuit in France today, Sunday the 19th of September.
The Franco-Japanese team was forced to retire early in the race, due to a technical problem, yet still managed to finish second overall in the 2022 FIM Endurance World Championship.
The team has led the 2022 EWC series since the season opener at Le Mans in April, where it won the first 24-hour of 2022 in emphatic style. Arriving at the Paul Ricard circuit with a 23-point lead over its nearest rival, hopes were high for another back-to-back championship win.
