Nice video of Alonso lapping cars:
That is so unbelievably impressive.

Now imagine doing that with a competitor hot on your tail, and consider how much more difficult that would be

Alonso was awesome during his night stint, was 2/3 seconds a lap faster than any other Toyota driver. Inherited a 2:10 deficit, handed the car back only 40secs down

My 24th LM this year, LE 24/24 😁
Tag Heuer sponsored Aston Martin Vantage

I hope they tweak the design of the AM Heuer 01 to better reflect the AM colour scheme.

Yes, very easy to be consistently fast when you don't have to worry about competitors hunting you down. You can drive at 8/10ths, not making any big mistakes and taking your time passing traffic

TAG Heuer should recruit him as a "back up" ambassador, in case Dempsey decides to move on. 😉
That would be a welcomed addition in my book. But not if we lose Dempsey.

Who’s Watching this Weekend? 🍿
Thanks to Eurosport! 😉 👍

Watching FP4 and the Hyperpole today, it’s nice to see so many Porsche with TAG Heuer in its livery


And of course the “Powered by Mercedes-AMG” 😉 official Aston Martin, clearly sponsored by TAG Heuer


But the big surprise was the Gulf Racing Team wearing just the classic Heuer logos in their Porsche and box!

W😀W! 👍

The undisputed motorsports watch brand, TAG Heuer! 😀

I’m a Toyota fan so any chance of TAG Heuer teaming up with Toyota will be a HUGE HUGE celebration for me! ::rimshot:: I highly regard the core values of both brands and have maintained my utmost respect & loyalty.

Interesting to see that there are TAG Heuer logos and Heuer only logos 😉

Will former F1 driver & former TAG Heuer ambassador Juan Pablo Montoya achieve the coveted “Triple Crown of Motorsports” 🍿

He is still very much competitive in todays motorsports after winning the 2019 IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship 👍

It’s a DOUBLE VICTORY for TOYOTA this weekend!

24H of LeMans & WRC Rally Turkey 🥰🥰

Thank you sir @Albert-AMG 😀 The Aston Martins really put on a MIGHTY show being able to fend off the Porsches & Ferraris!

To win Le Mans is really to compete against yourself, the time and the racetrack. It’s much as a mental challenge & a test of fortitude than just mere speed, endurance & advanced racing technology. 👍

I enjoyed watching and I hope all of you had a great weekend! 😎 Stay safe & Godspeed!

Congrats to Toyota. 👍

I didn't bother watching, no fun when there's basically no competition at the top. 🥱
Toyota's hat trick is well deserved, but would have been much more meaningful if Porsche and/or Audi were still racing in the LMP1 class.
