And the Winner is! GR#8

Winning is a Habit!

And the winner is... After securing Pole, the Number 8 Car from driven by Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley & Ryō Hirakawa was crowned champion of the 24h Endurance Race of LeMans 2022. They completed 380 laps in 24:02:07 (H:M:S).

The race was met with a couple of difficulties but at the End they pulled it of.

Disclaimer, unfortunately I didn't get any shots of the GR#8 during the Night so the 2 Nighshots are of the GR#7.

2022 marked my first attendance of the 24h Endurance Race of LeMans and man o man, i was hooked from the start, the vibe around the City, the joy and happiness of the people, be it locals or the many thousand that had made the trip for this amazing Event, it was contagious and I would test positiv for sure.
