Shaun Lynn's BR01, being prepared for the Masters Endurance Legends Race, at the 2023 Silverstone Festival
The BR Engineering BR01 is a Le Mans Prototype built by BR Engineering in 2015. The car made its debut at the 4 Hours of Imola run by SMP Racing. In 2015 SMP originally planned a full-season program in the European Le Mans Series. After missing the first round, in which the team ran the Oreca 03, the car with its livery was unveiled at Imola.[1] SMP Racing entered a pair of BR01s at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and a single prototype at the 6 Hours of Racing entered the 2016 24 Hours of Daytona, ahead of their planned 2-car assault on the 2016 FIA World Endurance Championship season in 2016. Mikhail Aleshin took pole position[3] in a wet qualifying session however the car fell back during the race, eventually finishing 38th overall. Four of the BR 01s are being raced in the Masters Endurance Legends. The car has claimed six class wins in the G2/P2 class so far, as of 13 June, as well as six overall podiums finishes.
