However, during development, Reynard decided to also launch the prototype for the smaller LMP675 class in order to be able to address a larger customer base.

The main distinguishing features of the carbon and aluminum monocoque-equipped racing cars were engine power and weight.

The 2KQ made its racing debut in the LMP900 version at the 24 Hours of Daytona in February of the same year.

In the race, after many technical problems, the quartet finished 23rd overall after starting from fourth on the grid.

Yannick Dalmas got stuck in one of the ORECA-2KQs in the first lap due to a lack of oil pressure.

However, ROC and Noël del Bello trusted in the vehicle until the end of 2004 and continued to use it in the LMP675 class.
