Race review I 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans I FIA WEC

The race review of the centenary edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, round 4 of the 2023 FIA World Endurance Championship season.
The FIA World Endurance Championship is the world’s premier international sportscar championship, contested over seven rounds across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. With multiple cars across three categories (Hypercar, LMP2 and LMGTE Am) all on track at the same time, the WEC is a sports car extravaganza that offers action, overtakes, excitement and entertainment for fans worldwide.

First year I ever watched it live, and what a fantastic race! So glad I did, and will be doing every year from now on!

[@fatihuldhiya355]

You're lucky to watch it live. Next year will be even better!

[@knaughta.masso-kist5944]

Same here! Ferrari's return finally got me to watch live.

[@Cynderfan35]

my first full live was 2013 and when saw this one, I was so on edge of the seat to see Ferrari win, the moment pit stop problems happened, was always heart attack moment. but welcome to the group, just you wait for 2024, it will be hopefully another amazing show ;)

[@JohnKickboxing]

7:53 Hey... anyone here knows the reason they tend to wrestle each other at the first turns when starting the race, considering this is an endurance race like marathon, no need to get that hurried.

[@acescionti711]

Saaaaame

[@Yosh1az]

Everyone was talking about Ferrari winning LeMans and NASCAR winning the audience, but no one was talking about Corvette's incredible comeback from the tail end of the GTE AM pack.

[@BrunoOliveira-sf9pk]

Please Ferrari is more important than Corvette...

[@rolux4853]

lol it’s so funny to see the comments of those uneducated Americans who really believe the world revolves completely around them and everybody cares about their stuff. Dude you need to correct your perspective, in the racing world the USA is just a little player at the side of the field. People care about Porsche and Ferrari when comes to Le Mans. In the recent history there were a few win streaks from Audi and Toyota, but the traditional winners are back. I find it impressive what the corvette team did, but this happens quite often in the touring car classes. Have a great day my man!

[@eamonahern7495]

The cost cap in f1 was good for all motorsport, especially endurance racing as it meant ferrari had to do other things to help people keep their jobs. Thus a le mans overall winner was born, breaking Toyota's streak and adding intrigue to the race.

[@Person-rv5tl]

Mate, spoilers.

[@Heinvanast]

You really think this has to do anything with the F1 costcap? You don't understand motorsports.... This Ferrari project was on the way well before the F1 costcap 😂

[@eamonahern7495]

@Heinvanast they planned it before the cost cap because they knew the cost cap was coming.

[@rhyswilliams4893]

BoP is what makes WEC more entertaining. People complain about it for some reason as well.

[@Christopher_TG]

Le Mans is the single greatest race in the world. I don't plan on ever missing a Le Mans for the rest of my life!

[@AlexAmez]

yeahh i kinda dissagree. The race is amazing but the track is not that amzing to me. Spa and Bathurst come to mind for me :) but that's opinion of course

[@SupercarPhantom]

@@AlexAmez24 of Nurburgring is my #1 every year, but we all have our opinions which is the beautiful thing about Motorsport, & not be toxic about it

[@AlexAmez]

@@SupercarPhantom oh yeah somehow forgot Nurburgring :D But i'm Belgian and live 2hours from spa... so yeah i'm not neutral in my opinion :p

Ferrarl F1 Team 🤡

[@Leopardo_Bianco]

@@momof1nascar316 Ferrari had the BOP implemented in the races before and after lemans... which they lost...

[@racer501_sb]

Say what you will about the BoP, but 5 different manufacturers led the race and we had a battle for the lead for 23HRS. I'd say the BoP was for once actually balanced. Well done Ferrari ❤️🇮🇹

[@francesco5254]

I really wonder why they changed it again the next race. This was surely the most balanced race in the whole championship.

[@racer501_sb]

@@francesco5254 im positive bops gets changed exactly every race

[@francesco5254]

@@racer501_sb it ended being changed every race, but at the beginning of the championship the organizers intended to make a single BoP change in the middle of the season to prevent teams from sandbagging in the early races. As races went by, they decided to change this rule, but I'm not sure it helped a lot.

[@alistairmills7608]

I've been watching since 1980 and this was one of the Top 5 Le Mans 24 hours in the last 45 years. Stellar. Great summary too. Cheers

[@racingmhf9157]

Finally proper Highlights, thank you WEC, you guys give us the best motorsport can offer!

[@captaintoyota3171]

Cadillac just queitly creeping into euro motorsport i love it

[@JohnCharb87]

What a story this told. Ferrari's return to the top level of sportscar racing. Practically a 24hr Ironman match between Ferrari and Toyota.

First year I watched the full 24h live without sleep🎉

[@iu5hju]

Bellissimo video, mi ha fatto rivivere le emozioni della 24h più bella che ho mai visto.

[@carl8790]

I was not expecting an american brand, much less Cadillac to finish on the podium. Good job 🇺🇸

[@igorzkoppt]

I think a lot of people forget that the 24H of Le Mans is the absolute priority of the manufacturers, which explains why some cars do better over there. A number of these cars are designed specifically for Le Mans, and just hope for the best on the other tracks. Tracks like Monza seem similar but they are probably not for tyre wear, temperatures, fuel usage etc.

[@eriknaamot]

What an amazing event 🎉🎉

[@pietrosal9629]

CHE GARONA STRAORDINARIA , the best moment of 2023 for me , seeing Ferrari absolutely triumphing after 58 years at Le Mans , potentially the most important race ever known, was simply a heavenly sensation than cannot be replicated. Forza Ferrari❤❤🇮🇹

[@brandonsims131]

Literally the best fuckin videos! These shits have been giving me chills what great work guys

[@anonymouspunk9968]

Loved the carnage! Don't remember if I saw that many wrecks even at the 2023 Daytona 500.

[@noronorko]

[@ayushinamdar2570]

the calmness in the French guy's voice when he says "we need to look for a leak"

[@nasrymatamoros1748]

That yellow hypercar Cadillac went through everything. So happy they finished

[@Obi1KenobiB0bby]

Great race, loved the action, really well done for Ferrari, Toyota (kind of) and Cadillac! And I must say a very honorable (at least) 6 and 7 for Glickenhaus, a very good race for them, kept out of big troubles and took advantage of the attrition race. It's a shame they won't be there this year

[@spdcrzy]

Two hundred years from now, God willing, Le Mans will still be here. Because there will ALWAYS be people willing to build the best possible bond between a driver and a car.

Around 19:45 .. Reminds me of F1 Suzuka. I think it was Turn one when half the grid hydroplaned off turn 1 one after another... Some of these guys are driving like it's a 24 Minute Race, not a 24 hr one..

[@sdx3918]

2023 hasn't been the best year personally for me but tuning into this race was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

[@euro-hawk-221]

What a superb win for Endurance Motorsport gaining so much brands in the Hypercar class. What I wonder is the actual total no. of FIA WEC paticipants in 2024 which sums up to app 37. I wonder how the AOC as the Le Mans event organizer will deal with that as they always had 55-60 cars in the race. Any info available ?

[@Maenfy]

It will most likely be a full grid again with 62 cars, all of the WEC cars will be there + 15 LMP2s + auto invites. The rest of the slots are still to be decided.

[@euro-hawk-221]

Because it was quite a long Safety Car and they wanted to burn some drive time.
