Congrats Hulkenberg
I know it is a little misplaced but a Huge Congratulations to Nico Hulkenberg for winning the 24Hrs of Le Mans.
And this on his debut along with 2 other fairly rookie drivers
Those LMP1 cars are a thing of beauty
He got super emotional at the end and i can't lie, i got a bit teary eyed myself.
It was a glorious race and i had it on in the background for most of the race.
Maybe next year we will see a few more F1 drivers?you can't argue with results.

Yes indeed!
Webber finishing 2nd along with another F1 Red Bull castaway before his career even got going. Brendan Hartley.
It was a good race
Yes Fisi finished 2nd in category for t and unbelievably, Patrick Dempsey's team and driver finished 2nd in the GTAM
and those LMP1 cars were smashing the lap records earlier in the raceyou can't argue with results.

Fisichella was amazing for him these days . He was so consistent in his stints. Well done to him.
Nico Hulkenberg drove fantastically too considering the sudden change of category. I think by the looks of it he enjoyed it alot. It is the best race in the world to win I imagine.
I wonder if given his fortunes in F1 he might fancy doing more of that.
Yes also congrats to Webber.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

As I said in the amazingly quiet Le Man thread. World Endurance and now Le Mans continue to overshadow F1 in my opinion these days.
Very good motorsport and good spirit.I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

I was pulling for Webber's Porsche, but I wanted Hulkenberg's team to win if Mark didn't. Both fit my definition of deserving drivers.
I know Hulkenberg will go back to his day job this weekend. But what sports car racing needs (IMO) is more name drivers. It's great to have famous brands and marques taking part. Some fans do follow Porsche, Audi, Ferrari or Jaguar (they need to come back to Le Mans!!!), but having more "name" drivers would really increase viewership and interest, IMO. With that, in addition to good racing at historic venues, I think all the boxes would be checked."Every generation's memory is exactly as long as its own experience." --John Kenneth Galbraith

Saw that. Well done, Nico!

Tänak got 20 points closer to Evans, but as the main reason was a bad rally for Evans, I would say that Evans lost 20 points to Tänak, not Tänak gained. The point is, if the other one does not...
