The winner is Toyota

For the second time in a row, the unusual 24-hour race at Le Mans was held in a row, but unlike last year, it was held behind closed gates: 50,000 with a coronavirus vaccination or a negative PCR test not older than 48 hours. - spectators could visit, which is one-fifth of the usual number of spectators.

If we are already dealing with Formula 1 on a regular basis with the Leader, it is worth mentioning that there were historic moments before Saturday afternoon’s start for the king category. Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso was honored to be the first to drive a F1 car on the 13.6-kilometer Circuit de La Sarthe. The Spaniard didn’t have an unfamiliar terrain on the track, winning twice on that track with Toyota before returning, and also becoming an endurance world champion in the 2018/2019 season.

The battle in Le Mans began in a memorable way, as the rain only started the countdown behind the safety car. After nearly a quarter of an hour, the green flags were waved, followed by a plethora of slow zones and yellow flags. The biggest loser in the rolling race was the Toyota 8, as Sébastien Buemi was pushed out in the second cornering combination by the legendary Glickenhaus 708.

Toyota's leading 7 unit thus won some mousetraps in the beginning, especially after the Alpine, Japan's closest pursuer, soon became part of the post-start kalamajo as Nicholas Lapierre spun at the Indianapolis exit while about a dozen cars were introduced to pirouette they hiked in the gravel bed.
