Some really good racing when under green. The lead keeps changing, anyone's race at this early stage.

Yes! It looks more like a sprint race than a 24 hour race! 👍 Very aggressive overtakings! 😲

This would look really cool on brown/caramel leather

Congrats to Ferrari! A fairy tale return to Le Mans! 👍


Ferrari's last appearance at the top class was 50 years ago, their '73 cars wearing the Heuer badge. 😁

Congrats to Ferrari! A great race! Steve would have enjoyed it!
But he would have expected Porsche much stronger (so did I) ….

I'm happy for Ferrari, although I was rooting for Porsche. Hopefully they'll be back stronger next year.

It was kind of ironic, because Ferrari acted like a well oiled machine, surprising given how long they've been away. Porsche, normally the masters at Le mans, behaved more like the Ferrari F1 team. Including Hertz Jota Porsche, which led early, with enough pace to pull away from the Ferrari duo, until it crashed itself out of contention.🤦

Ferrari came prepared for the 24 Hours of Le Mans! Snatching Hyper Pole and also the comeback grand over-all win. Their performance and top speed was certainly on another level! 👍

3 manufacturers from 3 different continents on the Le Mans Podium! 😀

Ferrari (Italy) Toyota (Japan) & Cadillac (USA) ::psy::::psy::::psy::

How cool is that!!!?? 🥰
Never knew about the yellow stripe.

Not only that, but the winning #51 Ferrari has the inverse of Jacky Ickx's number 15 raced in 1973. 👍
All it needed was TAG Heuer sponsorship and the 50 year circle would've been complete! 😟

Nice win for TAG Heuer this year, 2024! ::psy::
Proof that the world hasn't got mad, yet, as the Porsche/Penske TAG Heuer team took the trophy.
Well done gentlemen. 👍
Cadillac was close in second with Acura finishing third. And three Porches following.

That's reigning Indy 500 Champion Josef Newgarden all excited and throwing the door open to greet his finishing teammate, Felipe Nasr.
Can't wait for the special limited edition TH watch to celebrate! 🙄
