I absolutely loved the onboard footage fro the winning Ferrari. I watched it from 4am to finish, raining at night, sunrise wet, slowly drying track in early morning, to sunshine and more grey skies typical of Europe and I loved it. Safety cars, back markers, pit stops, driver changes, lapping cars, battle for the lead, RE overtake for the lead after a stop. Wow I was glued. Had no idea it was the winning car till after but watched it anyway. 3 different driving styles, smooth no kerbs to crunching the thing over kerbs, hearing the suspension thud and the abuse it was taking. What a bit of kit to withstand all that abuse for 24hrs was spectacular to say the least. I made all my friends watch it through sunrise, magnifique 😍🥰👀
Watching Cadillac battle Ferrari was my highlight of the race. The #3 slowly reeling in the #50 til he got a pass, then the battle through backmarkers was awesome. The biggest downside to their car was the low top speed. They had to catch the draft of other hyperarcs to keep up, but everywhere else they have fantastic speed and grip. I would really love to see them win in the future!
Poor poor Toyota, if, if, if, if my mother's sister had balls she would have been my uncle but she didn't. Ferrari won, if the door had been shut properly they would have won by a greater gap. Ferrari did dominate even with the "ifs."
@@alexd5240 I don't know, it just seems to me that Ferrari aren't being given their due. In a 24hr their are hundreds of things that are going to arise and Ferrari handled them better than anyone else on the whole. I think the Mustang making the podium first time asking and another coming in a distant 4th deserved to be mentioned. It wasn't long ago major parts of the cars were falling off in the longer endurance races.
@billygoat520 ferrari aren't getting this respect because they took out their closest rival that was closing on them and onky suffered a 5 second penalty
@@billygoat520 But let's not blame Toyota for "not handing things as well as Ferrari". 6:21. Remind us why the #8 wasn't lead Toyota. For most of the race it was a pitstop ahead of #7. Why wasn't it ahead at the end? Why didn't it win? What issue did Toyota have with #8 that they didn't "handle as well as Ferrari"?

Maybe a hot take bop is a good thing because it emphasizes what endurance racing is about. Reliability, strategy, pit stop speed, keeping out of trouble etc
Alpine seems clueless in F1 and now, they couldn't figure what went wrong in WEC campaign....the whole management need to be reorganise to seal up better structure.
Toyota should ask themselfes why the basically waved the white flag 20-30 minutes before the end. Especially when knowing that Ferrari had to save fuel. World championship points more important than a 24h Le Mans win, give me break. Similarly all other competitors should ask themselfes how Ferrari could win that race with the amount of errors they made or penalties they took.
@@billygoat520 Did you hear the radio call where they told the #7 to secure 2nd place instead of further pushing? In a fuel saving situation as an opponent you push till the end because they could also have miscalculated, fuel pickup could provide a problem with low fuel or simply to force them burn more fuel than they want.
@@martinohnenamen6147 What are you trying to say, Toyota let Ferrari win? "In a fuel saving situation as an opponent you push till the end because they could also have miscalculated, fuel pickup could provide a problem with low fuel or simply to force them burn more fuel than they want." Right, are you saying Toyota did not do what you are saying above. therefore they let Ferrari by poor strategy? Stop trying to make excuses and take the loss gracefully not like the Orange Faced Clown.

If the cadi jota deal does go ahead for next year, what happens to the drivers? Jota alr have theyre own lineup for 2 cars and then cadi have theyre own too currently so could perhaps some jota drivers be replaced by current cadi drivers? (Like 1 car be decided by jota, the other by cadi)
Porsche accused Ferrari of 'showboating' at the test. What do the Autosport team make of that? Personally I think it's just bad grace, Ferrari got their strategy spot on.
That's new. "Showboating" means show-off. So just to understand. Since they (Porsche) cannot say they (Ferrari) sandbagged because of the results of previous races, and they (Porsche) cannot say a thing about BOP because it was clearly helping them, Porsche found a way to insult Ferrari, saying what? That during the test they were just doing their job instead of hiding? Showing-off in what way? Because the 499 is a beauty and the 963 looks like a pig? What a beautiful display, PorschA.
Ferrari made a setup for mixed weather conditipns, Pirsche it looks to me were betting on dry condition. As for BOP, better for Poirsche to stay in silence. They had a very favourable BOP either in hypercar and GT3.
Porsche had a 20 second lead at the Aston flip 16 hours in. LeMans officials removed that lead with a restart to give the double car teams a better chance. Porsche lead for 16 hours, but politics removed their strategy lead. Ferrari F1 politics won this race. Ferrari was nowhere in the race race for 16 hours.
3:17: I don't think that is true. They refueled the car during that pit stop to shut the door. If "they had pitted a lap earlier", they would have just put more fuel in the car during that or one of the later pit stops. What they need to be commended for, especially with the criticism of their strategic decisions in the past, was getting the fuel and energy calculations spot on so that the car finished with only 2% of available energy left. They had enough of a gap so that they could go into energy conservation mode during that last stint.
They filled it to the brim in the stop they shut the door, . They had to get to the end on that tank amount of fuel to win. What was impressive was A)the calculaitions B) the drive and lastly the abality for the 499p to save alot of energy whilst only lapping 5 seconds slower than the 8 toyota. It wasnt much slower than the 51 which was going flat out
They couldn't have put more fuel in, they filled it to 100% when they stopped for the door and that was their last stop. 100% a lap earlier wouldn't have been enough and not enough time for additional stop.
If you were there it was different but for the rest of the world difficult to follow. No live stream. Which is fine when regular updates could be provided. The watch the radio was confusing. mostly focusing on the leaders when toward the end action going on throughout. However the N24 race coverage was not great either this year.
I see what you did there with the title, Autosport. Hehehe. A shame you didn't discuss Lamborghini, though. Granted, they didn't finish on the lead lap, but quite notably, they FINISHED the race, even with such changing conditions, on their very first try. I hope they stick around and don't go the way of Peugeot as the years go on.
That's part of the drama of racing fella. Though 'punting' is a bit strong. More a love tap. For punting, refer to Buemi nearly ending the D Station Aston Martin's entire bloodline at Monza last season
Ferrari overtook everything on the straight except the Porsche and it was easy, I’m surprised that it was so close. Congratulations to Porsche maybe next year 👀🧐

Ferrari is making history. Reliving their historic past in 60’s of domination at Lemans 24.

No Porsche win = Good
Excuse me but the presenters should be people who identify with the audience.
Also gt3 is amazing why not explore it more?
You need to do some research on who the presenters are.
Reign!
I think it's a pun because it rained in the race
I think it’s a play on words referencing the rain towards the end of the race
Yes, we know... it was a play on words... you know, because it rained a lot...
