Toyota’s efforts to win on merit instead of by default continue to be cursed for no readily-apparent reason…
Really good race overall, and portends well for the future of LMH/LMdH as a category. A different manufacturer on each step of the podium, even Peugeot was legitimately leading for a while, and the Caddies were in the hunt the whole way through, in spite of the being in the more restricted LMdH ruleset. Porsche still seems to have some teething problems to work through.
Looking forward to next year, with BMW, Alpine, and Lamborghini in the Hypercar category, and more accessible GT3 cars for GT!
Yeah, it really feels like we’re about to enter a new golden age of WEC!
I was nice to see Ferrari do something well for a change.
Yeah, though watching Leclerc watch Porsche go off at Arnage and seal the win for Ferrari was a little sad

It was the Toyota going off, wasn’t it. Porsche lost the lead lap a whole while back.
Yeah it definitely was 🤦♂️
I managed to watch 19 hours and have no regrets. Was a fantastic race throughout. Shame that Toyota binned it near the end but the rari fully deserved that win
Really ready good race in the early parts. I’m a bit unhappy that Porsche didn’t win (or even keep a car on the lead lap) but it’s been a great first le mans for the reinvigorated HyperCar class. And I’ve finally seen someone other than Toyota win me mans!
Slightly off topic, but this Le Mans has got me more interested in actually watching some of the other WEC events this year given the parity in Hypercar class. Definitely looking forward to Monza. Does anyone have any experience using the FIAWEC stream or a better recommendation to watch the rest of this season’s event?
