All right, that may be a bit too strong… So, maybe not the best ever but certainly the best in the last 10 years, then? Probably. The race had one of the most exciting beginnings ever, with lots of rain and drama. And after that, it was something or other happening all the time. Honestly, something happened every 15 minutes or so. Even so, the best part was Hypercar, hands down. Lead swaps occurred left and right, a VERY competitive race – so much better than the boring parades of the last five years. Moreover, the cars are absolutely gorgeous!
The bad part? A Ferrari won 🤣. Oh come on, it is bad – a Ferrari winning means that I’ll have to get an expensive Looksmart 😣. Yet, I’m NOT complaining – I was really dreading getting another boring white and red Toyota. And speaking of spending money, things will get expensive for the W-143 Garage: Ferrari 499P (Looksmart 🙄), Porsche 963, Peugeot 9X8, Cadillac V-Series.R, that Garage 56 Camaro, Oreca 07 #34 and the Corvette #33. And perhaps, because of the liveries, the “Dinosaur Porsche”, Nielsen Oreca 07 #14, a Glickenhaus and the Iron Dames Porsche. Oh yeah, the 2023 24 Heures du Mans will definitively be expensive.
Even so, all in all, and as expected, it was a FANTASTIC race! 🏆🏆🏆
What a wonderful centenary race! The first chaotic hours with rain and everchanging leaders and the second part with the two horses battling for the win.
I can’t wait to see the cars next month at the 6 hours of Monza; have you seen that next year the championship returns to Brasil? I know it’s an immense country but I hope you’ll be able to go!
Honestly, one of the most exciting races I’ve seen. Or at least, compared to the parades that were the last 3 or 5 years it was an IMMENSE upgrade! And yes, I’m excited about the 6 Hours of São Paulo! When more info comes out (September or October, if I’m not mistaken) I’ll try to see if I can attend.
Buona notte!
