Le Mans 2023


There is a live drivers parade but it's in Japanese :crying: some interesting cars they are using.
 
How long would the Nascar car need be a concept before being allowed to be a new category or added to the regular race. understand they have to meet regulations but other than that?

That will never happen. Le Mans is a part of a championship series that is run under a specific set of sportscar & GT regulations.

The NASCAR entry is a once-off allocation that Le Mans gives to entrants who bring a different idea or concept to the race. In next year's race it will be something different in their place.

Loving the race at he front between the Ferrari and Toyota. Will be an interesting 4 hours to the end
 
Ferrari masterclass in their return to LeMans this year. I hope it's a long rivalry and encourages Audi's return to hyper
 
Amazing return from Ferrari, it was so much faster than the Toyota in the warmer temps. That pitstop must have been hell for them though. Lost their 40 second lead and had to re-run the car through its entire start sequence.

The NASCAR finished, which was their goal, albeit last of the runners. A rebuild of their drivetrain (they had to replace the entire gearbox and run it through shakedown laps) cost them nearly 2-hours. They were running ahead of the entire GTE field with 3-hours to go before their technical issues, so it was showing remarkable pace. Jenson Button said in race conditions it was actually very easy to drive and not nearly as much of a workout as when they were chasing time in practice and quali.

Ferrari did well. Clearly faster than the Toyota. Seems like once they got in front of the Toyota they were destined to stay there. The final gap was a bit bigger than i expected.

In the slots that i watched the race i didn't see much or any coverage of the Nascar, except a glimpse when it was in the garage. They managed very well and happy to see it finished, which i was sceptical about.

Well Lamborghini is supposed to be there in 2024, so Audi will kinda be there.
