Renowned race team ART Grand Prix will be involved in the development of the car via trackside operations.
"We raised a challenge to ourselves," said BR Engineering president Rotenberg. "It was possible to buy a chassis of one of the four manufacturers of LMP2 for a season, also it was possible to leave for good, but we have always chosen our own path.
"Not necessarily, and not always the easiest, but this way is for sure the most interesting and promising. The aim of the project was and remains the development of Russian motorsport, including the technology sector.
"We invest a lot in support of the Russian drivers to help talented children to start a career in karting and successfully continue it in the GT, prototypes or single-seaters. Our prototype LMP2 BR01 is the first Russian car on the Le Mans podium."
