H5 – Problems continue at Alpine, show in LM P2

The troubles keep coming Alpine Asked 24 Hours of Le Mans. After a problem with the hydraulic clutch control shortly before the fourth hour of the race, the prototype in French colors had to return to its garage a second time in an hour. Andrew negrao finally emerged, in 36th place in the general ranking. With seven laps behind, Alpine ne peut plus rien espérer. Loin devant, la Toyota n°8 pilotée par Ryo Hirakawa domine toujours les débats devant la voiture soeur.

The spectacle on the track is offered to us by the LM P2s. The WRT team, which lost big from the start with a minute of stop and go for the No. 31 and damage to the No. 41 during the triple collision with the United Autosports No. 22, almost lost everything in an attempted move by Sean Gelael on the No. 32 of Rolf Ineichen. This benefited Pietro Fittipaldi (No. 43 Inter Europole), who squeezed past both cars in a four-way battle with the No. 23 United Autosports of Oliver Jarvis. The No. 38 Jota leads this category ahead of Team Penske.

En LMGTE Pro, Corvette continue de dominer avec la n°63. Nicky Catsburg est ainsi en tête devant la voiture soeur, la n°64 d’Alexander Sims, qui vient de se débarasser de Laurens Vanthoor (Porsche #92).

Porsche still has the upper hand in LMGTE Am with the No. 79 WeatherTech Racing driven by Cooper MacNeil. THE Aston Martin from Northwest AMR and TF Sport complete the podium for this fifth hour.
