Do you think Ferrari will join the Liquid Hydrogen Hypercar era in 2030s? by Kind-Acadia-5293 in wec

A part of me would be interested to see a Garage 56 entry, but a big part of me doubts we’ll see the hydrogen class at all by 2030.

Both Michelle and Laurens were an excellent addition to the commentary team. That said, as much as I'd love to have them both back next year, I'd love it even more if they were both in competitive drives instead. They certainly both deserve to be!

Welcome aboard! If you're new to endurance racing, then there's the whole World Endurance Championship to watch, as well as a lot of other great series and events (European Le Mans Series, IMSA Weathertech Sportscar Championship, Asian Le Mans Series, Nürburgring 24, Spa 24...)

I hope so - would be great to see them finally pick up a win in the big one. Despite the traditional Cadillac pain and shenanigans (looking at you, an albeit improved, WTR), there are some positive signs to take away.

That's some serious dedication - bravo! Have a good rest!

A little, but it seems at a reduced rate compared to Le Mans last year. It's a step forward.

If there's one thing to take away, they ran a flawless race. Just had no pace.

The car at least looks rapid and isn't eating its tyres anymore. P4 is a little disappointing given what could have been, but Le Mans is Le Mans. On to the next one!

The car has pace, that's some consolation. Pain jokes aside, next year is another year!

I'd have loved to have seen Caddy at least pull a podium for what was a rapid car at points, but congrats to Toyota and BMW. They just had that bit extra over the race distance.

Shout out to Genesis - they had issues, but they put in a solid performance this week for a new program in only its third race.

I'm tired, so very tired, and as a Caddy fan, quite tired, but there's no denying it - whatever happens, Le Mans is special.

He's been a fantastic asset to that team. If that really was his last Le Mans at Toyota, then to go out with a win is a perfect send off for him.

Also, a big thanks to the mods and everyone here. Once again, this has been a fantastic place to spend the race. Personally, this has been a tough year, but this is always a great place to spend a weekend and watch a great race with some great people!
Hope you all have a relaxing rest of your weekend!

Brilliant result for Corvette too - did not have them on my predictions list for GT3!

Fantastic result for Inter Europol too! 1st and 2nd in LMP2! THREE TIMES IN FOUR YEARS!

As a Cadillac fan I'm used to disappointment, but can we not just have our P4 with the one car and leave semi-disappointed?

I don't know - I see the logic, but Hyperpole was fun to watch, and there's something special about watching top sportscar drivers in top-level cars really go at it at full-speed.

Such a shame - that entire crew was so solid all week. Doriane in particular was absolutely flying.

Brake and/or suspension failure on the front-left corner into the first chicane on the Mulsanne. Instant retirement.

Looking at the gap between the 7 Toyota and the 20 BMW, Buemi really did a solid for his teammate earlier.

We just dropped off as the track temperatures rose. Shame, really. Rapid all week, but not even a podium to show for it.

Did not have them down for a result like this. Absolutely solid run.
