The Honda-powered Ligier of Tequila-Patron ESM Racing won in a dominating performance over the Corvette DP of Wayne Taylor Racing. Pipo Derani, 22yo Brazilian, driving for ESM was a flat-out beast each time he was in the car.
The #4 Corvette beat the #3 Corvette by about 2 feet and Magnus Racing won a thrilling fuel mileage battle in GTD which saw the #28 Lamborghini Huracan run out of fuel with 2 laps to go.
Overall, the race was fantastic, with close, hard racing for 24 hrs. Overall TV coverage was much better than last year. Hopefully, that was not because this is one of the biggest races of the year

Those last few minutes were incredible. Amazing how a 24 hour race can come down to just a few feet at the end.

And awesome that they were allowed to race (the Corvettes)!

It might have been a “dominating” lead over Wayne Taylor but it’s pretty scary considering Max Angelelli finished and then immediately stopped and opened the door and is now being treated at the medical center for fumes...

3rd in class for the unapologetically ‘murican Viper!

It really was a great race - I had the online stream up so I’m not sure how the TV coverage was, but the stream was pretty good.
