2022 Petit Le Mans

Now the 57 is in the barrier.

OH ****.

PIPO IS GOING TO SEND IT, ISN'T HE!?

That's it, the white flag has been waved.

 

[Kiante]

I'll take more Helio happiness over anything.

Love that man.

Risi has been DQ'ed, driver time infringement!

What a season, man. MSR finished 1st or 2nd in seven of ten races, a model of consistency in such a hard-fought championship. Incredible to think WTR haven’t won a title since 2017. So much heartbreak for them again.

Can’t wait for 2023 though, new season pretty much starts this week with official GTP testing. Great time to be a sports car fan.

Chip can't be very happy right now,

Damn, I hate to see this. Really hope they win a big one again someday. That fight in GTD Pro at the end was nuts.

 

[Doc Austin]

Helio just keeps winning.

Don't be too hard on the Ganassi guys. There was nothing left to lose, and the cars are useless after this race anyway, so why not race the damm things?

Well, the 3 hours that was broadcast on my regular cable turned out to be pretty exciting, the ending ended up totally different from the early running. How about Montoya Junior?, wow, 17 years old ... what a future that kid has.

The DPi points lead changed hands at every race this season, believed to be the first time that happened. Action Express (31/48) had their first winless season in team history (2010-).

I just watched the last three hours last night. Ganassi screw-up, terrific GTD Pro battle with a post-race DQ, and a somewhat disappointing finish when the Acuras did get to race to the finish. The ending felt off to me somehow, but overall the enter 10 hours was a pretty good race.
