A few weeks ago (October 4th) FIAWEC posted on their YouTube page an almost hour-long recap of the 2021 24 Heures du Mans. And dummy here only found it this morning đŁ. Better late than never, I guess.
I am going to watch it tonight, on a big screen TV.

2022 Hypercar
On the 24 Heures du Mans’ official page today they posted an article with all the brands that will participate in the Hypercar class starting in 2022. From Acura to Toyota, the list is quite long. And to be honest, until now, I wasn’t aware of all those manufacturers. Of course there’s a long road ahead until we arrive at Le Mans next year, however things do look good.

Toyota didn’t disappoint
Fantastic race! While Toyota’s win was more than expected, the race was thrilling. Though it was (almost) smooth sailing in the Hypercar class, there was a lot of drama throughout the other classes. Culminating with the leader of LMP2 coming in just seven-tenths of a second ahead of second place! Moreover, all five hypercar cars finished the race, so things look very promising for the future.
