Last support race before the big start of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Road to Le Mans championship was supposed to make our mouths water before the big spectacle of the double clock tower. Starting from pole position, the #21 Nissan of the Mühlner Motorsport team won the second race of the weekend. With a comfortable lead of 11 seconds at the checkered flag, the Belgian crew was never put in danger by the other competitors in the LMP3 category. The podium is completed by the #19 of the Cool Racing team and the #14 RLR MSport.
? An unforgettable day for Mühlner Motorsport #21! They are victorious in #RoadToLeMans Race 2! ?
Congratulations to U. De Wilde, M. Kranz and all the Belgian team for their debut win in the Michelin Le Mans Cup. What a place to do it! ??#LMC @duqueine_auto pic.twitter.com/kaHWjr6nIe

Note that the #11 of the WTM Powered by Phoenix team was in the leading trio before receiving a drive-through for causing a collision at the start of the race with a GT3. The race was also marked by a few off-track events. This is the case of the winning car in race 1, the Nielsen Racing #7. Also note a contact between the #37 Cool Racing Ligier and the #98 Motorsport98 Ligier on the first lap.
Race 1 winner Tony Wells went off track and hit the barrier. He's made it back to the pits now.

In the GT3 category, everything came down to the last lap. While Logan sargeant Logan était aisément en tête au volant de l’Iron Lynx #8, le trafic aura eu raison du pilote américain. Tout cela a profité à la Porsche #2 du team TFT qui a pris la première position dans l’ultime boucle de la course. Le podium est complété par l’Audi #72 du Team WRT.
? @TFTRacing #2 take the GT3 win after a close finish! ?
Well done @JAndlauer, N. Leutwiler and the Swiss squad for their second victory of the season. This one is just a little bit more special! ??#LMC #RoadToLeMans @PorscheRaces pic.twitter.com/3tFLxshFbf
