I've never seen this many cars in the top class before. This is going to be good.

I actually love that mustang GT 3. And I love the fact that Farley, the CEO of FORD, is such a car guy.

Agree - so glad a lot of manufacturers got back in. And Aston just announced that they're going to race the Valkyrie in next year's 24.

Farley is a crazy good car guy! He’s been historic racing for more than a decades, done the Classic LeMans in a GT40 and has been dipping his toe in VP and now, the new Mustang Challenge. He’s very, very serious about his racing. He’s no slouch, either. And you would have no idea what he did or does when he’s talking racing at the track…

What a remarkable, challenging race. Big kudos to Jota for their total rebuild of the 12 car. Hats of to Manthey winning GT3 first time out. But deep down, everyone is a Ferrari fan!

Hypercar was pretty great. Not too much GT3 action on TV. LMP2 is the least interesting.


Off and on rain, 24hrs long, so tiring!

Big hats off to the effort of the #6 PPM car. That team pairing was phenomenal, just like the team pairing of the winning car. The right drivers in the seat at the right time for excelling in the incredibly changeable conditions...

Lietz is cementing a name as one of the all-time great LeMans GT class drivers. Very consistent. Very impressive.

Impressive debut for an indycar rookie (Seigel) to win in LMP2 for Zak Brown...


And, I don't think we'll get too many Porsche posters from this race...

Sure seems like the #6 Penske entry could have short filled on the last pit stop to put themselves on the podium. Shame to finish less than two seconds behind third with a quarter “tank” of energy left.

I don't think they are allowed to short fill.
