I keep having to watch this stupid Eurosport ad of tennis fans doing stupid dances at the 2018 US Open.
Joest was out of a job after Audi quit. Besides, none of the DPis can race in ACO as LMP2s. Only IMSA is based enough to let the P2s race and lose against the DPi cars.
If I recall correctly, the car is delivered as a bare chassis. Practically everything in front of the fire wall, and behind the driver is more or less custom to GTE.
Here you go, senpai
Michelotto gets unfinished 488 chassis from the Marenello factory, about an hour away. The 488 GTEs, GT3s, and 488 Challenges are then sold to customer teams (or taken back to Maranello for additional work ala the Ferrari P80/C)

Because they have to be protective of Toyota and manufacturers. When Oreca came up with their first Rebellion LMP1 chassis they could have reduced it's weight by some 80 kilos but ACO wouldn't allow it because it's better to have them three seconds slower a lap than the Audis.

Background in the backmarkers
>It’s been a strange season for Clearwater Racing, which has thus far failed to find the top step of the podium in its second (and likely final) WEC campaign.
This year’s Le Mans 24 Hours sees the team race with a different driver line-up, as only Matt Griffin has seen out the season. Weng Sun Mok decided to call it a day after the Asian rounds last year, and as a result, his driving partner Keita Sawa’s season came to a premature end too.
In their place since have been Luis Perez Companc and Matteo Cressoni. So far they’ve had a forgettable trip to Sebring, the car terminally damaged before the race, but a more encouraging run in the weather chaos at Spa, finishing third in class.
What’s the outlook for Le Mans? Potentially a darkhorse candidate should Griffin be on form and Cressoni and Perez Companc run fast and error free. A top-five finish in this company would be a worth swansong performance from the Singaporean team, which has been a model member of the paddock since stepping up to the WEC back in 2017.
>hues in charge of reading
>Canada in charge of irony, humour, functioning as a country, being human or not being hated by the whole planet
Any F1 drivers participating? Former and/or active.
yes
AM is generally for privateer/customer teams so the cars are usually older. this is the first year the ford has been in AM.
PRO are factory or factory backed teams with full factory driver lineups

>Please go back to your bankrupt whole you crawled out of

More background on backmarker teams
>WeatherTech Racing’s effort this year is an intriguing one. Cooper MacNeil, back for a fifth shot at Le Mans glory, brings with him 2017 class winner Rob Smith and two-time GTE Pro Le Mans winner Toni Vilander. This crew could be a dark horse at Le Mans this year, as all three drivers have plenty of experience at La Sarthe and know the 488 well.
>The trio, who had to make journeys from Detroit (in the case of MacNeil and Vilander) and Paul Ricard to make it in time for the track action, ended up topping the class in the times. The ultimate pace was around a second off last year’s test day, so very little should be read into it.
>However, seeing the #62 at the head of the times came as a reminder that the winner of this year’s race may not come from the ELMS or WEC ranks, as there’s an interesting selection of cars from outside the two most densely populated GTE grids in the world on the entry.
>WeatherTech Racing’s Ferrari is a brand new chassis and is being prepared by 2016 GTE Am winner Scuderia Corsa. Watch out for this one!

>Gentleman driver Ishikawa has struggled thus far to find the necessary pace and whilst Cheever (son of ex F1 driver Eddie) is finding the pace, and the team (supported by AF Corse) has the services of the most experienced Le Mans racer on the grid, Olivier Beretta. This looks like a mountain to climb! A run for a finish looks the best option here.
>Beretta meanwhile will make his 23rd consecutive appearance at Le Mans, a record that includes six class wins and a further five class podium finishes.
Why is Beretta continuously ending up in more and more backwater teams?

JMW Motorsport
>JMW won GTE Am as recently as 2017, and are as prepared as ever for another attack on Le Mans this year, with a yellow camo livery, which upon close inspection, includes some stunning detail.
This is, like last year, more a commercial effort for Jim McWhirter, so there isn’t as much expectation surrounding it. But, all three drivers have plenty of GT experience under their belts. All three drivers have been competing (and taken wins) recently in the increasingly slim World Challenge America field, Baptista with K-PAX and Lu and Segal paired up in a TR3 Ferrari.
>The question is, just how will success in World Challenge translate to Le Mans? Segal, for instance, is the only driver of the three with a Le Mans start under his belt. With a clean, consistent run, JMW could challenge towards the front-end of the field, as it always runs its cars well. But in truth, there are a lot of unknowns surrounding this one.
for me it's kmag's dad
Well, they are the worst of the countries. Even you living among potatoes can call them shit and get away with it.
>Keating Motorsports’ Wynn’s liveried Ford GT is likely to attract the most attention in the class this year and for good reason. It’s the first customer Ford GT to be raced, and it’s colour scheme is one of the finest in the field.
Le Mans will be the team’s first with the GT, but it is a car that has a real pedigree, as it’s the chassis that scored the GT’s first ever win back in 2016. The team has had limited testing time heading into race week, but once up to speed, Bleekemolen and Keating should be one of the strongest one-two punches in the class. Add into that Fraga, who is quick but new to Le Mans, and you have the potential for this effort to challenge for a podium or win.
At the Test Day, the outright speed wasn’t there, but Bleekemolen didn’t spend much time in the car, instead, it was a day for Fraga and Keating to get acclimatised. By race time, if BoP permits, all three should be ready; and let’s not forget, if this car scores a big result it could lead to more races for the GT in the aftermath of the factory’s exit from IMSA and the WEC.
Factory drivers go wherever the factory tells them, which might mean older, experienced drivers end up at lower placed teams to share the knowledge and try to carry the brand in that series. I think that's why Nick Tandy or some other Porsche driver ended up in World Challenge last year.

Gulf Racing
>2018/19 has brought with it another challenging season for Gulf Racing, its new Porsche unable to find the podium at any of the races thus far. As usual, the team’s chances hinge on Mike Wainright’s performance. One of the more experienced Ams in the field, on a good day he can put them into a position to score a podium (they have two fourth-place finishes this year), but when he’s not having a good weekend there’s little Barker and Preining can do to pick up the slack.
Qualifying is the team’s time to shine here, with both Barker and Preining capable of producing good times. Porsche junior Preining has had a quiet, but strong first year in the WEC and this experience of Le Mans for a second time with the team should bode well for his future. Barker, on the other hand, is a known quantity, and at times one of the fastest men in a Porsche anywhere in the world.
>The question is, can the team have a clean race and end the season on a high?

how does this happen?
>TF Sport, in its first season of WEC competition, racing the oldest car in the field, heads to Le Mans with a shot at both the GTE Am win and the title. With a 26-point deficit to overcome, it’s going to take a lot for Eastwood and Yoluc to claim the title. But a win and some poor luck striking the other contenders could turn the title race on its head at the finale.
The Vantage GTE, in what looks to be its final race in WEC competition, is still capable of scoring big results, though it hasn’t taken a win since Spa last year. TF is also still searching for its first win in WEC competition, after coming achingly close four times this term (with second place finishes). Will this be the time? Yoluc, Eastwood and Hankey (who hasn’t completed the full season) would like to think so.
Tom Ferrier’s team always operate at a high level, and in this case, will be eager to give the old girl a good send off before it switches to the new model for next season.

To everyone. Even their youtube channel is having issues because people are giving up on the audio feed, going there and the admins are trying to get the feed sync'd.
youtube.com
because . Short of a mechanical failure, unBOPd cars would have one team emerge as clearly faster. Certainly it's incentive to get better, but it seems at Le Mans, you just get one team dominating for years before everybody else quits. Clearly the BOP formula works (to an extent) when you can get same lap, same second finishes at 24 hour races. The durability of modern cars is nothing short of amazing.
KARA BOĞA
>André Lotterer
i don't think 1 race lap is enough to consider him f1 driver
How did this happen exactly?

Emmm sorry but THERE WERE NO POTATOES that was the problem, duh!
Just copy/pastes from dailysportscar.com
>Car Guy’s debut at Le Mans could turn into one of the feel-good storylines at the race. The Japanese team, based at the Fuji Speedway, heads to France having dominated the Asian Le Mans Series field over the winter. Racing in the GT3 class, Car Guy won all four races during the 2018/19 season and as a result, stormed to the title and earned an invite to the race.
At Le Mans, Kei Cozzolino and Takeshi Kimura continue racing as a pair for the team, without their partner in crime James Calado, who is on AF Corse GTE Pro duty. Instead, they’ll rely on another talented GT driver, who also took part in the Asian Le Mans Series over the winter (albeit in LMP2), Frenchman Come Ledogar. The former McLaren factory driver should prove to be a worthy stand-in for Calado in what will be his second Le Mans start.
As for Cozzolino and Kimura, they’re both new to Le Mans and racing the GTE-spec 488 (run by AF Corse). But if their performance over the winter is any sort of indication, they still have the chance to spring a surprise in their first attempt.

Team Project 1
>It really has been quite a debut season for Team Project 1. The German Porsche one-make specialist is now firmly a part of the endurance family, sits atop the points standings with just one race to go in GTE Am.
The team received help in the title race from the Dempsey Proton penalty last year, but its run has nevertheless been impressive. Consistency has been the key for Project 1, with five straight top-three finishes (including a win at Fuji) during the middle portion of the season to put it in the driving seat for the championship.
Patrick Lindsey, Egidio Perfetti and Jorg Bergmeister’s 23-point lead is comfortable, but by no means insurmountable if poor luck strikes. Should the team have a clean run here though, expect it to be in the running not just for the GTE Am title, but the class win too, as this is one of the better-balanced driver line-ups in the class. The Test Day saw the team end up at the tail end of Am in the times, but that’s no reason for concern at this stage.
>Also of note, the team’s Porsche 911 RSR won’t be in its usual yellow and black paint scheme. But, it shouldn’t be hard to spot, as it’s running a striking new livery for the ‘Super Finale’

Yes, its their factory team. They have been around in LMP2 for some time. 2013 I think is when they first started their LMP2 programme?
Yeah, and the first year of GTE BOP the winner caught a safety car earlier than the rest of the field because of luck with the pitstop sequence, and had 1m advantage for 6 hours until the flag.

>It’s been a pleasant surprise to see the WEC Spirit of Race crew emerge as a contender during this season. Since the Dempsey Proton crew was docked all its points last year, Castellacci, Fisichella and Flohr have represented the biggest threat to Project 1 taking the title.
They’ve done it without winning races, instead, with consistency, with two-second place finishes and a pair of fourths to lay the foundations for a title challenge. Heading into race week at Le Mans, they sit 23 points off the lead. Project 1 would have to have a poor run for this to swing Spirit of Race’s way, and that’s why we like endurance racing because the unexpected does happen more often than in most forms of motorsport.
>At the Test Day, the crew were fast too and will head to race week confident. Can they pull off something special here? If Flohr stays out of trouble and Fisichella and Castellacci are as quick as ever, then it’s certainly possible!
Protip: we actually just throw old fries back in the fryer. theyre never actually fresh unless youre lucky or theres no rush
If Toyota doesn't win boy are they shit, it's being handed to them. Liking Toyota unironically big fucking yikes my man
I believe BMWs are slightly larger.
Thanks
Dominating the two biggest racing categories today and not giving a chance to other people try to conquer a win, at least during the start of the 00's the fia tried to do something to stop ferrari, but now they are doing nothing

Didn't the 91/92 run a really good near perfect race though? Not that the safety car thing wasn't bullshit
Why did you Photoshop the M8 smaller?
High Class Racing
>2019 has brought with it a fresh look for High Class Racing, which is making its Le Mans 24 Hours debut this year.
The Danish squad, which has been racing the past two years with Dallara in the ELMS’ LMP2 class, has switched to ORECA for this year in a bid to achieve better results.
It’s been a bit of a rollercoaster so far. There have been highs, Anders Fjordbach topping the ELMS Prologue at Ricard, and lows, losing multiple laps after getting caught up in someone else’s incident at Monza. But, even with limited experience to draw from with the 07, the pace has been stronger, and Dennis Andersen continues to be a steady hand.
It’s not going to be easy for this plucky squad to challenge for the top spots, as Andersen is a true Bronze driver, but with the help of former Rebellion LMP1 man Mathias Beche, a strong finish is certainly possible. Beche is a WEC overall race winner and Fjordbach has come on strong during the past year.
>Whatever happens, this team is sure to enjoy its first Le Mans, especially as it looked like it would be forced to miss out on the event until the ACO decided to build the two new temporary garages.
First time, wish them luck Yea Forums

United Autosports
>Podium finishers last year there’s little doubt that much of Ligier’s hopes rest on the shoulders of the US-flagged, UK based United Autosports squad.
The late decision by the ACO to add two additional entries saw the team gain their fully deserved second entry and with the late switch last year to Michelin rubber there are even further twists in the chassis + tyre manufacturer mix here.
The two cars have high-quality driver line-ups, #22 with the increasingly quick Phil Hanson joined by the impressive pairing of Pros that are Filipe Albuquerque and Paul di Resta. There is a lot to like here in terms of potential raw speed and race smarts, if the Ligier can stay in touch with the ORECAs they will be a force to be reckoned with over the race distance.
The sister #32 car is anchored by the equally impressive Alex Brundle, his speed in the Ligier has been a breath of fresh air since he returned to the LMP2 fray this season. That too has unlocked more from this less experienced team-mate Ryan Cullen, a major step forward in his so far short LMP2 career – consistency will be the key to success for him, and for Will Owen, who knows the team and the car well.
>If the #32 trio can keep their race clean, and keep a competitive pace, they look just the ticket to be in the mix.
>the US-flagged, UK based
....why? Just put a UK flag on it.

Panis Barthez Competition
>Panis Barthez have just one of their pair of ELMS entered Ligiers at Le Mans this year and arrive in the wake of a surprise switch to Dunlop rubber just before the start of the season.
There’s nothing wrong with the line-up in the #23 car. Rene Binder is new to the effort this year but is quick and reliable. Will Stevens continues to impress in LMP2, the ex-F1 man already has a Le Mans class win to his name from GTE Am a couple of seasons ago but is certainly capable of class-leading pace if the machinery allows, and Julien Canal knows exactly what is required here.
>2019 will be Canal’s 10th consecutive Le Mans 24 Hours, the first three of which produced class wins in GT machinery, this is his sixth attempt at LMP2 success in the 24 Hours and there is every possibility that if the race moves away from an ORECA speed fest that the #23 might find itself in contention for a podium.

Algarve Pro Racing
>Algarve Pro is one of a pair of teams forced into a late driver change by injury, in their case the accident that befell Mark Patterson at Monza has counted out the 67-year old from the race this season. Bad news indeed for the Cox-family owned and run team.
He’s replaced by David Zollinger, ex-Formula Le Mans racer, VdeV Champion and previous Le Mans entrant.
Ex-ELMS LMP3 Champion John Falb is making his LMP2 debut this year as part this line-up and is one of 30+ Le Mans debutants, he’s a quick and consistent gentleman driver with the intelligence to know that he needs to reel in the emotions here.
>And Andrea Pizzitola, reigning ELMS Drivers Champion complete the trio, properly quick, and a great team player to boot. He’s not likely to recover the lost overall win from last year (when he was part of the excluded G-Drive effort) but his professionalism will be vital if the #25 car is going to go the distance.
aaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

G-Drive Racing
>G-Drive Racing is another major contender. The now Aurus-branded G-Drive effort lost out to ‘fuel-rig-gate’ last year, excluded from the win on the day following the race.
They are back courtesy of an ELMS title with a new colour scheme to go with the Aurus brand, the latest Dunlop rubber and an exciting new prospect on the driver squad.
Roman Rusinov is at the core of the team as always and has been on the ‘fast’ side of his driving barometer for much of the year thus far. He’s joined once again by Jean-Eric Vergne, super quick, if a little erratic at times, but with speed to match or better just about anyone in this field.
Adding further steel to the effort is reigning ELMS LMP3 Champion Job van Uitert, coming into his first Le Mans as an increasingly important part of the team, and with a growing reputation in the paddock for raw and consistent speed.
>If Rusinov is on form, and the Dunlops do what they are capable of, these guys will be tough to beat.
It's time for you to leave, bye.

Shea a cute
TDS Racing
>Is this year’s Le Mans 24 Hours a final LMP2 fling for Francois Perrodo before a switch back to GTE Am? We’ll see.
It’s fair to say that the #28 effort has underperformed this season and that the usually chipper Perrodo has had more days with a long face than at any point that this writer has known him. He and TDS Racing will be looking to sweep away the bad memories of their exclusion from fourth place last year.
>On to 2019 though and Francois Perrodo needs to be on his game to keep the effort in the mix. There’s little doubt that his two Pro team-mates, Le Mans overall winner and WEC World Champ Loic Duval and the mercurial Matthieu Vaxiviere have the pace to take the fight to the rest so much will depend on the Gentleman’s pace and consistency. Staying error-free is vital here!

Racing Team Nederland
>Le Mans sees the last outing for the current Racing Team Nederland outfit with the #29 Dallara, wearing a Minardi F1 tribute livery, this the favourite F1 outfit of Frits van Eerd.
The Jumbo supermarket owner switches to TDS Racing for next season after what has not been the happiest of seasons, though it has not been without its flashes of brilliance, in particular, Giedo van der Garde’s run to the front of the field at Spa last time out.
He and Nyck de Vries have shown real pace at times but it is the consistency that has been lacking from the effort, and the shortcomings of the Dallara have not helped it seems.
>The car should be relatively quick at Le Mans, the team will be looking where a potential might leave them in the order.
Wait a minute, is this team related to Minardi?

Duqueine Engineering
>Duqueine Engineering’s LMP2 effort has been a coming force in the hotly contested ELMS and is certainly one to watch.
2016 FIA WEC World Champion and double Le Mans winner Romain Dumas replaces ELMS regular Richard Bradley joining the impressive Nico Jamin, and an on-form Pierre Ragues in the #30 car.
>Everything about this effort looks on-point, only a lack of Le Mans experience for the team is a mark in the negative column. Expect the effort to run with the leading pack if their run stays clean, and don’t bet against a dream debut for one of the best new efforts in the class in the Gibson era.

>Coming on strong and still in the hunt for the WEC title before the crew switches to Jota Sport for next season, DragonSpeed holds an extraordinary first having won races this year in LMP2 in IMSA, ELMS and FIA WEC.
This is the one they really want though and they have a fair chance of being there.
Roberto Gonzalez has been rock solid of late, and that’s exactly what he needs to be, fault-free on track, hoping that Elton Julian’s loyal crew do the same on pit lane and leaving the heavy lifting to Ant Davidson. The 2014 WEC World Champion loving his time now in LMP2, and Pastor Maldonado, leaving behind his pantomime villain F1 reputation with real pace here.
Keep an eye on the #31, because trust me the rest of the field will be too!

Inter Europol Competition
>A fan favourite, courtesy, in part at least, of the now infamous ‘Norwich City’ green and yellow colours carried by the teams’ cars.
The Polish-flagged team arrive for their Le Mans 24 Hours debut courtesy of an LMP3 class Championship in the Asian Le Mans Series as they step up to LMP2 with the Ligier JS P217 Gibson for a full season in the ELMS alongside their LMP3 programme.
This is a tight-knit team, under ex-Zakspeed man Sascha Fässbender and his Keese Motorsport outfit and the driver squad, forced into a late change after an injury hit Léo Roussel at Monza last month, is an interesting one, James Winslow is the late addition, the Aussie-based Englishman appearing for a fourth Le Mans.
Fellow Brit Nigel Moore will start his third Le Mans, and has a reputation for blinding speed in an LMP3, can he translate that to the quicker car?
>Finally, the team’s debutant at Le Mans is Jakub ‘Kuba’ Smiechowski, quick, understated and emerging talent. With such a striking colour scheme it’s difficult to use the phrase ‘dark horse’ but this could be a team to watch as an outlier if things go awry for some more fancied runners!

>With the much-fancied ORECA chassis, there is another tick in the box. One to watch for sure.

RLR Msport
>Newcomers to LMP2 under their own name at Le Mans, RLR MSport arrive with a new ORECA and high ambitions.
The programme comes courtesy of returning LMP3 customer John Farano, the Canadian in a hurry to progress and getting the opportunity to do so with RLR MSport at Le Mans courtesy of their LMP3 title win in the 2018 ELMS.
Joining Farano are Indian ex-F2 driver Arjun Maini who is showing real speed in the #43 car, and is clearly happy in the endurance racing family too, and for Le Mans only, Norman Nato takes the place of the team’s ELMS regular Bruno Senna (who is on LMP1 duty with Rebellion).
Nato already has race-winning form in the ORECA 07 from last season’s ELMS (with Racing Engineering) and raced at Le Mans last year with SMP Racing.
>Much will depend on Farano’s form in race week here, for now, in year one of this programme, the target should be to finish.

Cetilar Racing
>The final outing for the ever so Italian team under the tutelage of Villorba Corse and Team Manager Christian Pescatori comes in the biggest race of the year before the team moves on to the FIA WEC and a berth at AF Corse.
They are remaining faithful to the Dallara chassis which has shown flashes of real speed this season in their hands and elsewhere. Le Mans though is a different kettle of fish and after a first-year aero pack that alarmed many drivers, the ‘joker’ compromise settled things down a little.
Andrea Belicchi is back this year after injury and makes this a tight-knit trio, Giorgio Sernagiotto is a capable driver too with Roberto Lacorte far from the slowest ‘gent’ out there.
>Unlikely to trouble the podium, but there will be adventures in trying to get the car to the finish.

IDEC Sport
>IDEC Sport has been in real form in the ELMS this year so far with Paul-Loup Chatin one of the stone-cold pacemen in the class, easily capable of taking the fight to the other big names here.
Memo Rojas seems at ease in the team too and after a solid year last year we’re seeing his pace re-emerge once again.
>And Paul Lafargue, after missing races last year through injury and subsequent back surgery, seems back in full health. If he can produce consistency this is an effort to be taken very, very seriously.
How many of those are left just so I know when you'll stop, this shit is cringe.
ARC Bratislava
>After a wrinkle last season, Miro Konopka failing to gain entry for Le Mans and making his feelings pretty clear about it, the Slovakian stalwart redoubled his LMP2 commitments in Asia and took the LMP2 Am title. That means he’s back at La Sarthe, after earning a Le Mans place for the team’s efforts.
Konopka is a true enthusiast, not the fastest LMP2 driver on the planet, but far from the slowest, and makes few mistakes.
>He’s joined here by Henning Enqvist and Konstantin Tereschenko, the Russian will need to curb his habit of overdriving if the #49 crew is going to get their dream result, a fighting finish.

Larbre Competition
>The full season WEC entrant that just about everyone thought would not make the distance, is still going and will finish the ‘Super Season’ with its Ligier.
Parfumier pals Ricci and Creed have been aboard the #50 all season, joined for the season finale by Nic Boulle, astonishingly the first man this season to score a second start with the team as the third driver.
>The effort has been plodding but fairly reliable thus far. This is not an effort that is going to get a result on pace, a finish will be the objective for let’s not forget, one of the most successful teams in the great race’s recent history in terms of class wins.
Is that a tranny
kamui 3 seconds faster than fernando
what abomination of a car is that? nissan just loves fucking their own shit up
ByKolles Racing Team
>With a new-Gibson-optimised chassis debuted at the Test Day together with a new colour scheme and aero, will that be enough to push the ByKolles effort forward?
The driver trio is far from inexperienced and all have speed, though Ruberti is very new to LMP racing.
The key is going to be reliability and consistency because the raw pace from an effort that is a dictionary definition of the word ‘underdog’ looks set not to be a feature.
>The whole team will be working as hard as always to get to the finish.

DragonSpeed (their LMP1 effort)
>It’s been a troubled year for DragonSpeed’s LMP1 effort. It started badly with a huge and damaging shunt for Pietro Fittipaldi at Spa 2018 and has got little better.
Reliability of the BR1 Gibson has been shaky, but some raw pace has been there too, often courtesy of Ben Hanley.
After a lead-in to Le Mans that was somewhat unusual, DragonSpeed arrives in good order, and with a surprise to be sprung.
>They’ll be looking to get in amongst the leading non-hybrids if possible but more than anything the finish is the target as the team bows out of the FIA WEC full-time.

SMP Racing
>The SMP Racing AER-powered BR1s are the fastest cars in the race, in terms of top speed at least, Stoffel Vandoorne the first man in WEC history to top 350 km/h in the Test Day last weekend.
The two driver squads are of high quality, the car, whilst at times looking something of a handful, is remarkably quick, certainly able to go toe to toe with the Rebellions. Certainly, watch SMP in qualifying – and expect significantly quick times if the weather holds out.
The remaining questions are around reliability, though the P60B looks way, way better on that front than its AER predecessors, and on whether or not this team can get either car to the checkered flag without on-track incident or garage-bound issues.
>If they can stay out of trouble then expect a potential battle for a podium overall.

Risi Competizione
>Texan team Risi Competizione’s return to the GTE Pro class at Le Mans comes after running the Keating Motorsports effort in GTE Am last year. It’s been a strange couple of years for Guiseppe Risi’s team, which hasn’t been able to put together a full programme with a GTE car, but its lack of continuity shouldn’t be a reason to overlook this effort though. It has history at the great race, winning its class multiple times and challenging Ford for the win back in 2016.
Its three drivers make for an intriguing prospect, with current IMSA DPi drivers Pipo Derani and Oliver Jarvis set to race with Bentley Boy Jules Gounon. They will be up against it, in both resources and numbers, but we all know that this fan-favourite, the only privateer team in the class, can spring a surprise, especially with a car as capable as the 488 GTE Evo.
The Test Day didn’t go to plan. The team, which is using a brand new 488 chassis, lost track time due to its drivers having to make the late dash to the circuit after their Saturday races. Even when the car did hit the circuit it suffered sensor issues which meant just 44 laps were completed during the day, the fewest in the class.
>Race week does provide plenty of track time though, and despite Jarvis and Gounon being new to GTE racing, they are both more than capable of getting up to speed quickly.
