According to RACER, Isotta Fraschini’s Tipo6-C LMH Hypercar has been withdrawn from the FIA WEC before the Lone Star Le Mans week, leading to the Italian marque pulling out from the upcoming races at CoTA, Fuji, and Bahrain. This decision reduces the entry list to 36 cars for the CoTA race, as the car was being shipped to Austin. The withdrawal precedes the 2025 mandate for Hypercar manufacturers to have two cars, posing a challenge for Isotta to expand its program. Despite efforts by Michelotto, the car’s designer, to save the program by selling the design, no success has been achieved yet. Isotta Fraschini Tipo-6 Competizione had a brief racing career of five races in the 2024 FIA WEC, with the team managing three finishes, including a 14th place at Le Mans. Isotta is reportedly undergoing a motorsports business restructuring, leading to the withdrawal.
