2018-19 For the 2018-19 super season, three BR1 chassis were entered; two by
SMP Racing and one by
DragonSpeed. The cars for the two teams differed by their engine choices; SMP utilizing
AER-built P60B 2.4 litre V6 turbocharged engines and DragonSpeed utilizing the
Gibson-made
GL458 4.5 litre V8 naturally aspirated engine, the same engine used by
Rebellion in their
R13 prototypes. The debut of the car at the
6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps was overshadowed by a qualifying accident involving DragonSpeed's driver
Pietro Fittipaldi, in which he sustained fractures to both legs. The car suffered from an electrical problem which caused the car to lose control and run straight into the wall whilst climbing Raidillon and could not be entered into the race. SMP Racing also had technical issues with their #17 entry. Despite this, their #11 entry was able to finish fifth in qualifying. Come race time, car #17 was involved in an accident at the top of Raidillon which sent it flipping through the air. The #11 managed to finish 5th overall. At
Le Mans, DragonSpeed's #10 BR1 crashed at the exit of the Porsche curves with roughly 7:40:00 left in the race, retiring it from the event. The #17 also had an accident at the Porsche curves, severely damaging its rear.
Matevos Isaakyan attempted to get it running again but the engine was damaged beyond repair, stopping the car again after rolling for a few meters. The #11 experienced technical issues earlier in the race but was able to rejoin later, finishing in 14th overall and 5th in-class. At
Silverstone, the #11 SMP Racing BR1 experienced an engine failure, retiring it from the race. However, due to both Toyota hybrids being disqualified, the #17 finished third overall behind both Rebellion R13s. Dragonspeed's #10 experienced technical issues, causing it to finish 25th overall but still 4th in-class. At
Fuji, SMP's #17 BR1 lost its front right wheel after it became dislodged. It also experienced technical issues and had to be towed off the circuit. Despite this, the #11 finished 4th overall. Dragonspeed's #10 also developed technical issues and had to be towed off the circuit. == Complete FIA World Endurance Championship results ==
