TDS Racing's LMP2 car has been hit with a three-minute penalty for the LeMans24 after its FP1 crash with an Aston Martin.
The TDS-entered ORECA-Gibson 07 entered under the Tower Motorsports banner suffered heavy damage when Thomas clouted the TF Sport-run D'station Aston Martin Vantage GTE that Casper Stevenson had spun into the barriers at the fast sweeper before Tertre Rouge.
TDS and D'station both missed qualifying on Wednesday afternoon while replacement chassis were sourced, and so will start from the back of the grid. Both teams are hopeful of getting their cars ready by the end of third practice on Thursday, with Stevenson needing to complete 10 laps in darkness to be allowed to start the race in the car he shares with Satoshi Hoshino and Tomonobu Fujii.
