2023 Le Mans 24Hr

[gkgeiger]

I watched over 6 hrs of coverage and hardly a mention of the GT’s.

Big crash at 16 hours to go, Ferrari 51 spun on cold tyres avoiding another car, the crazy driving 66 Ferrari nearly overturned going OVER the 7 Toyota and another one hard.
Toyota 7 hypercar is OUT and is unsafe with electrocution risk..

[M5Rick]

51 Ferrari is lucky to rejoin being pulled out of the gravel still being on the same lap and is 4th.
94 Peugeot leads with 50 Ferrari 2nd and 2 Caddy 3rd.

Screwed By HULU Again! I took the day to do a BMW fun run looking forward to coming home to the first 8 hours of the 2023 Le Mans. Shows that is was recorded but unable to play it. They have screwed me out of so much F1 and now WEC. Think there will be a issue if I short pay this months bill?

well, that and the NASCAR entry

[G30M]

toyota leading ferrari by 1/4 mile for most of the night

intense

[M5Rick]

After 50 years of no works LMP1 Le Mans entry for Ferrari it would be great if they can win at least to cover their struggle in F1 at this time.
As I speak the 51 Ferrari leads by a minute

[M5Rick]

At nearly two hours to go it's 51 Ferrari with driver Giovinazzi leading from the 8 Toyota with danger man Hartley driving and chipping away at the lead. The other 50 Ferrari may come into play with spoiling Hartleys haste though that's come in for a service now and the gap is just 9 seconds.

[M5Rick]

@ 1 hr.55 to go, 8 Toyota comes in for service and driver change, when is 51 Ferrari in... Toyota hope to undercut, gap is 1:26 now as 51 comes in, keeping the same tyres and off it goes.

[M5Rick]

8 Toyota trip up! Hits barrier and spins! Returns to box with damage for panel changes and tyres..and it goes back out again. Hirakawa says sorry guys. Will the Caddy hunt him down...
Hartley warned Hirakawa about the rears locking and that's what happened.

[M5Rick]

One hour left and 51 Ferrari in for service and driver change for Fuoco who puts in FL of all to stamp Ferrari's authority on the 100th running of Le Mans.

[M5Rick]

30 min to go and problem for 5 Penske Porsche 963 limping back to the box, M.Christensen the driver.

[M5Rick]

Last stop for the 51 with 5% charge left.. oh oh the car is not moving... but then the lights come on and they're off..phew! Toyota were hoping...
as a Glickenhaus crashes and is beached.
8 Toyota is 50 seconds behind now but...it comes in for fuel.

[M5Rick]

5 min to go and Ferraris' Pier Guidi is cruising to the finish flag all being well..and on the last lap!
A sea of red is at the finish with Chas Leclerc in the box..get the spaghetti and vino verdi out!!!

[Marcoose]

I cannot believe my eyes. Bravi, ragazzi. 💪💪🇮🇹🇮🇹

What’s the DNA of the Cadi entry ? Made in the USA ? Customer chassis, engine ?

[Mr Pete]

Wow Ferrari did it. Happy to see Giovinazzi add a huge win to his resume.

Well deserved too, what a machine and lucky it started off from the box after that worrisome moment.

[M3WC]

Congrats Corvette Racing, wins GTE.

Was a great race by Ben Keating’s team.

Anyone running out to place a Z06 order tomorrow? I hear production beginning to ramp, and likely can fill all demand orders for 2024. Not me. But I do respect the accomplishment.
