The car had been fully rebuilt since the 2012 event this time with the engine built in house by Midland Classic Restorations, with some modifications to improve reliability.

Other than an issue with the high ethanol fuel melting a modern fuel filter ( an issue that hit many competitors) The car ran perfectly with the lap times significantly lower than the first outing, even with the weather being very wet at times.

The Car completed all three races with the three drivers really enjoying the experience, and they achieved the best ever result for a Citroen at Le Mans coming in 32nd out of almost 60 cars. The Citroen is one of the lowest power cars there so that is a significant achievement. in 2012 the car was placed 57th and in 2010 its first outing it came 49th with the original owners.
