Jack Aitken insists he didn't come to Le Mans with a 'point to prove' as he seeks to leave his 2023 opening-lap crash behind him at the 24 Hours.
Aitken is taking part in the World Endurance Championship classic for the third time, having contested it with the LMP2 Algarve Pro Racing squad in 2022 before joining the Action Express Racing Cadillac squad in IMSA. He was at the wheel for the race start at Circuit de la Sarthe last year. However, he was caught out by the damp track at the Daytona chicane on the very first lap and hit the wall.
' Aitken is particularly thankful that his team did not lose faith in him after his 'really heartbreaking' error. 'I wouldn't have blamed them at all if they had, but they're a fantastic group of people,' he praised. 'And even if it hurts, they know that they make mistakes sometimes as well, and they didn't hold it against me. 'If I do it a second time, they probably are free to kick me around a bit and call me all the names.
