Good enough result by Ogier's Richard Mille Racing Team at the 24 hours of Le Mans, finishing in P13 (9th in class).
Ogier's best lap was 1,7 seconds slower than Milesi's and 0,5 seconds faster than Liloux's.
Dirtfish is hyping Ogier's result in the article, but in my opinion he's doing decent, nothing special even for a rookie. Especially when we consider he was in talk with Toyota for a works seat with them in WEC, there are way faster drivers. For example, Vanthoor and Bortolotti, two of the fastest GT drivers around, were quite faster than Milesi in their first prototype race.
Then again, sometimes a slower driver gets carried by 2 faster ones, so it's not impossible that Toyota WEC team will sign Ogier.

He can always do another full season in the WEC with the LMP2 car, so he gets to grips with it, experience counts a lot here, and it's always tough to make the transition from rallying to circuit racing and vice versa, I think he'd be pleased with getting to the finish, he said from the start he wasn't expecting to win or anything like that.

Regarding that. Our Estonian driver Martin Rump did history as being first Estonian to compete at Le Mans in LMGTE Am class. Rump did his shifts very good and even managed to lead at one point but unfortunately they had suspension problems later on and one of the drivers went out briefly and they finished at 11th although being in podium contention all the race.

But a very good debut from him

Which car did he drive? and with who did he share the car? Asking out of curiosity.

It just takes a mod who visits at least every day. Banning those accounts on first reported post will not stop them completely, but will stop the forum from flooding.

I'm afraid Dirtfish are proving they know very little about racing; he was just about average to be honest. We know he has far less experience, but needs to improve a lot more. Fortunately, he has more races to get up to speed. - and at the end of the season we'll know a lot more. It's all about seat time.
