Le Mans 2024 – Ferrari ponovo pobednik u triler trci kakvu samo Leman može da izrežira. sa mnogo kiše, kvarova i odustajanja
Le Mans 2024 – Ferrari ponovo pobednik u triler trci kakvu samo Leman može da izrežira. sa mnogo kiše, kvarova i odustajanja. Na stazi Circuit de la Sarthe dugoj 13.6 kilometara izmenjala su se tri godišnja doba, trka je vožena po prelepom sunčanom vremenu, ali i po snažnoj kiši. Naročito tokom noći je bilo dosta izletanja ali i kiše, pa je više od šest od 24 časa, voženo pod žutim zastavama.
Iako je Porsche imao pol poziciju, ponovo se dokazalo da to u ovako dugoj trci nema mnogo uticaja. I porsche, ali i oba Cadillaca, koji su bili brzi u hyperpole delu kvalifikacija ubrzo su pali u palsmanu, a kao pretendenti za pobedu u prvi plan su došli vozači u automobilima Ferrari i Toyota.
Ferrari sa brojem 83 sa Robertom Kubicom kao vođom vozačke posade skoro šest časova je bila tim koji se pitao i održavao vođstvo. Međutim, nestrpljivost Kubice i nepotrebni kontakt sa BMW-om koji je izbačen iz trke, košttao je posadu Br 83 prvo kazne, ali na kraju i zle sreće – morala je da odustane.
Za to vreme kroz kišu i saobraćaj probijali su se dva Ferrarija i dve Toyote, a sam finiš trke doneo je pravu neizvesnost.
Taktički je Ferrari savršeno odigrao za posadu sa brojem 50 koju su činili Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina, Nicklas Nielsen, koja je sa poslednjim njutnima energije uspela da pređe liniju cilja nakon 311 krugova i obezbedi drugu uzastopnu pobedu za tim iz Maranella.
Drugo mesto na Lemanu 2024. u Hypercar klasi pripada Toyoti i posadi sa brojem 7 Jose Maria Lopez, Kamui Kobayashi, Nyck de Vries koja pomalo nije imala ni sreće. U poslednjih 45 minuta trke de Vries se u kontaktu sa drugim vozačem okrenuo na stazi i izgubio 10-ak sekundi, a nakon poslednjeg pitstopa u Toyoti je nešto krenulo tehnički po zlu, i trošila je previše energije a nije imala brzine da pristigne Ferrari. Ferrari je svojom posadom broj 51 popunio i treći stepenik podijuma, sa svojom posadom Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, Antonio Giovinazzi.
Slab nastup na Lemanu ove godine imali su oba bolida tima Alpine koji su odustali, BMW sa takođe nije imao dovoljno ni brzine ni sreće, kao ni Peugeot, koji je na svoj prototip ipak ugradio veliko zadnje krilo.
Ni legendarni MotoGP vozač Valenmtino Rossi nije imao sreće. Takmičio se u BMW-u u LMGT3 klasi. Iako je u određenom trenutku čak i vodila posada sa brojem 46, Rossi je automobil predao svom kolegi Ahmadu Al Hartyju, ali koji je malo iza ponoći izgubio kontrolu nad automobilom, izleteo sa staze i udario u zid. Time je bio završen nastup za Rossija.
