Team Redline wins the virtual 24 Hours of Le Mans

The No. 2 of Team Redline won the virtual 24 Hours of Le Mans (Le Mans Virtual Series)

The third edition of 24 Hours of Le Mans virtual races was won by the No. 07 Oreca 2 of Team Redline with Felipe Drugovich, Felix Rosenqvist, Luke Bennett and Chris Lulham at the wheel. The champion of Formula 2 thus becomes the first double winner of the event.

The Dutch team's car took advantage of the early morning abandonment of the other Team Redline prototype, the n°1 of Max Verstappen, Luke Browning, Jeffrey Rietveld and Diogo Pinto, due to a connection problem.

Porsche Coanda a pris la deuxième place avec Ayhancan Güven, Laurin Heinrich, Mitchell deJong et Joshua Rogers sur la n°20. La troisième marche du podium fut l’objet d’une féroce bataille dans le dernier tour entre l’AMG Team Williams Esports n°53 by Sami-Matti Trogen, Raffaelle Marciello, Jakub Brzezinski and Nikoden Wisniewski and theAlpine Esports n°36 by Sacha Lehmann, Leo Boulay, Colin Spork and Tom Lartilleux. 

It's finally a GTE Ferrari who refereed this fight by sending the car to A arrowed into the wall. 

 

In the GTE category, it is the Ferrari 488 GTE n°888 of R8G Esports, the structure of Romain Grosjean, which won with a crew made up of Alexander Smolyar, Scott Andrews, Timotej Andonovski and Erhan Jajovski.

The #8 BMW Team Redline BMW M71 GTE took second place with Rudy van Buren, Lorenzo Colombo, Kevin Siggy and Enzo Bonito. The podium was completed by another car from the propeller firm, the #89 BMW Team BS+COMPETITION of Bruno Spengler, Philippe Denes, Alen Terzic and Ibrahhem Khan.

The Ferrari had nothing to do with it, Sacha Lehmann wallowed in too much haste, moreover it is incomprehensible that the car was considered to have crossed the finish line.
