In L.M.P.2, the № 38 Oreca-Gibson from J.O.T.A. Sport has stood like a colossus atop the category since the Tricolore signaled the start. They will win unless they crash or break down.
There is a question as to which of several contenders will triumph in G.T.E. Am., but it is not the category of greatest interest.
As usual, the closest battle & greatest drama is in G.T.E. Pro., the class that is being eliminated. The № 64 Corvette was dicing with the № 51 Ferrari when the Corvette was brutally crashed out of the race due to two reckless gentleman drivers in L.M.P.2 driving like jackasses. The amateur who directly crashed his Oreca into the № 64 later walked down to the Corvette pits to apologize, which I have to admit was a classy move. The hideous coincidence is that the formal retirement of the sister № 63 Corvette was being announced at the exact moment the № 64 was forced off track into the crash barriers. Thus ends a historyof Corvette Racing at Le Mans that stretches back to 2000.
Currently, the № 51 Ferrari & the № 91 Porsche are nose-to-tail for the class lead. This is the best racing on track, as G.T.E. Pro. is year in & year out. Yet the G.T.E. Pro. class is being eliminated. I'm sure the A.C.O. has was it thinks are solid reasons for getting rid of the best racing at each & every year's 24 Hours of Le Mans, but their logic escapes me.
