WEC Lone Star Le Mans Review - Ferrari Beats Toyota In Tight Finale
This past weekend the World Endurance Championship headed to Austin, Texas for Lone Star Le Mans at the Circuit of the Americas. And across an epic 6 Hours, the AF Corse #83 Ferrari of Yifei Yi, Robert Kubica and Robert Shwartzman held off the #7 Toyota Gazoo Racing team of Kamui Kobayashi, Nick De Vries and Mike Conway to win by just 1.7 seconds, marking Ferrari’s first win in WEC outside of Le Mans since returning to full-time competition, and the sixth different winner in WEC in 2024. Kevin Turner sits down on this edition of the Autosport Podcast with Gary Watkins to break down how it was the Yellow Ferrari that came out on top, the controversial crash caused by Sebastien Buemi that led to penalty points on his license, and the state of the midfield in WEC with Fuji less than a fortnight away. There’s also a full review of the LMGT3 class as the Heart of Racing Aston Martin team continued their excellent track record on home soil. Learn more about your ad choices.
