Race Highlights I 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans I FIA WEC 

The F1 youtube is dead to me. Ever since they started putting fake commentary on it. It's like gen z took it over or something lol.

They usually upload longer highlights the next day. These are just the highlight packages they make “live” on air.

@@ragereset2795 I think he didn't intend to be rude, mate. Not as much as you did...

​@@sntslilhlpr6601fake commentary? I thought it was just the f1tv commentary team instead of the sky's ports commentary. If you use f1tv you can switch between the 2 while watching. Or am I wrong about that?

@@ragereset2795get a grip

Exactly what I thought.

@@kjoer whats the point of showing race progression and tactics when the results are already known. these are highlights and not a retrospective of race craft. if you want that go watch the goddamn race. Like no shit sherlock ofcourse they show the crashes, weather, and overtakes. those are the goddamn highlights!!

Title: Race highlights Video: Race highlights

​@@Olabruh yeah, I don't get their comment either.

​@@kjoerand they did that all throughout the race every 2 hours. This video here is after the race has already been finished, there would be no point in talk race progression and tactics, because it's already known because the race is over.

They do a cut of highlights every ~2 hours that the commentator talks over during the broadcast; really good, really quick editing work.

it was only a 19 hour race. During the night, they put a 4 hour safety car because it was raining…. 🙄🙄🙄

What about the other hour? ​@@PatricioGarcia1973

I theyll relase a longer one later but idk

There's a lot of dead air in the event in general outside of incidents. One of those things being the two safety cars. One was 1:30 hours long, the other was over 4 hours.

Yeah that's so funny

True progress!

24 hours of safety car

iirc last year's was the longest

Lmao poor Alpine

Seems like half of the 24 hours was under safety car because of some rain….. lame

How much Red Bull did you drink?

Same here, probably 18hrs watched. Exhausting. Can't wait for the 2025 for my GR and Penske teams go better 😂

There were 4 hours under safety car I heard! You could've had some sleep 😅

@@MMAli-rq8kd Almost 10 hrs

😂😂 same thing

For a race this long and this good, the 50 minute recap will be the true race highlights.

There was nothing special about this race. It rained the whole time. 4 hours of saftey car right before the sun came up. It was crap.

@@TellURide447Oh shut up. If it was dry all race you'd whine about the gaps between cars. Not everyone has the required attention span for endurance racing. Try taking some Ritalin or perhaps check out some monster trucks, l dunno.

@@TellURide447it might not have been as exciting as some of the stuff of 20, 30, or 40 years ago, but compared to what we get nowadays this was a fantastic race.

In Monaco ?

​@@mariomorabito2393you can't fuck up strategy and pitstops if there are none to be made.

Canada was one race, and if you look at the other previous races they seem to be doing well. Every team has their day and that just wasn't it for the scuderia.

Your comment in your head:🤡 Your comment in reality:💩

Do Ferrari race in another series besides WEC? Just kidding, l don't really care if they do.

Fortunately its a scream of despair and not injury 🙀

Kinda scary to hear actually.

thats hella harrowing ;-;

@@danielainger8666 Yeah it was really unsetteling hearing it for the first time, untill I realized he screamed most likely knowing it is going to be severe damage to the car or end of the race.

The commentators speculated the scream was more out of frustration or anguish at the realisation of making a critical mistake and being unable to salvage the situation as the car was driven by a silver driver (driving at Lemans for the first time) who made the mistake of getting off the dry racing line to let the charging Hypercars through but in doing so, got onto the wet part and lost control. A more seasoned GT driver may have held the racing line and forced the Hypercars to wait but it was a tough lesson for the driver to learn. Tried to do the right thing from being overtaken but at the wrong place and time and cost the team a chance at a podium.

This car had an internal sheered bolt that punctured the oil tank later in the race tho (Scott Dixon retirement) 🙀

Speaking of Gran Turismo it's the only appearance that remains for the V-Series R!

​@@alraptor97raptor91 Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans The Ferrari 499P is the two time winner! 🏁🏆🏆

@@bngln1712 I know and seen it myself especially the Ferrari 499P itself deserves the appearance of GT7. The victory came magical! 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

​@@alraptor97raptor91Gran Turismo 7 hopefully added Cadillac V Series R and Porsche 963 via Update 1.75.

They do two, about an hour each. One's called Full Access and focuses on stuff in the trenches with the teams. The other is a Race Review which is a more traditional highlight package. They take about a week to produce.

​@@ragereset2795many thought Cadillac would win le mans but no.... The 499P got back to back 24 hours of le mans win.

@@purwantiallan5089 more like 17 hours of le mans, and 7 hours of pace car.

I made a 20 minute highlight video on my channel. It really wasn't that hard

Welcome! I found it late as well, about 10 years ago in my forties. Check out WEC Full Access, it'll be out in about a week. They do them for every race, the one for last year's Le Mans is a must-watch, easily as crazy as this race. 🙂

To be honest, in the past 30 years, you wouldnt have missed much. Group C era in the early 90s was quite good. After that it was boring. Now, those new Hypercars and GT3 rules, are the best thing that could have happen to this event. I tried to get tickets for this year, but no chance. 😞 Despite very long safety car phases, this was the best race I have ever seen. So much drama, so much competition. Just wow.

Le Mans had always been interesting to see on site, but for TV public, for many years, it had been boring. Only one or two manufacturers really competed for the overall victory (and, when they were two, one was clearly ahead). Hypercar rules changed it. It's like the '60s again.

All good, but 'dirt ball'? doesn't do any justice 😂.

thanks for the unprompted blogposting

And a spin caused by Ferrari, which cost a podium and perhaps a possible victory.

And they have got Nyck Debris

@@Zaehlwerkhe’s talking about the #7, not the 8 car. The 8 got spun, not the 7.

Toyota 💪🏽

Ferrari: after a thousand penalties, a thousand problems, after a 50 year break we return and we kicked your ass😘🤫

2nd at Le Mans is the same as 40th They didn't smash anything I'm afraid. Good effort tho

​I need an explanation of why 40th in Le Mans is the same as 2nd

@@ggggbfgspyevan3849 Over 24h, starting position means very little.

@@ggggbfgspyevan3849 Le Mans is a race you win. If you don't win there IS no second place, you lose. This is the opinion of the Drivers, and of the teams, you either win Le Mans or you may as well come last.

@@ggggbfgspyevan3849 Because it's a 24 hours race where strategy and reliability are the most important components if you want to succeed. All sort of stuff is gonna happen. The starting position matters very little when there are multiple SC, it starts raining, people around you are on different strategies and pit at different times, cars break down and crash, ecc. You just need to keep up with front group and stay on the lead lap. Obviously starting from the front is a good bonus.

Wow, didn’t realize this

Monaco go is just A race tho?

​​@@ReLLje_YTthere was an era when race car drivers competed among multiple classes every year. That's how these 3 races came to be symbolized as the best of the best based on pure racing effort.

​@@WildDisasterwish the triple crown attempts still happened. i think alonso "only" has to win indy to complete it.

​@@sleepysxb7710Yes, and he was close to it once. Truth is, most F1 drivers find the Indy500 to be too dangerous - meaning if they get injured there, it would seriously impact their F1 career as well. And while I find it a bit ironic that F1 drivers fear injuries, they're right about being afraid. Even though way more drivers have been injured while cycling than during the Indy500 in recent times.

They also missed the number 50 car's door issue, which forced them out of sync which greatly increased the uncertainty and drama of the final hour and a half of the race.

That's a shame they gave his team a pentality, but I thought it was manageable. But there comes shwartzman, and breaks a car, BRUH

They were my favorite to win. They ran a great race the penalty hurt then the issues with the car. Incredible that a 24 hour race can be so affected by a 30 second penalty

It wasn't Kubicas fault

@@michazaborowski3610yeah a penalty for ending a teams race. Tf.

@@mikeslechta6607 I mean, that pentality was, not the bump

They will upload it probably next weekend.

More like 2 weeks. But the full race, like the previous ones, will be uploaded very soon.

It is coming. They always post the full race replay a week or two after the event.

It will be. The last decade of full races are on RU-vid for free.

How many hours would that be???

Indy car?

As someone who watches f1, this race was much better then the last years of all f1 togheter

@@Chucklingsaneman Yes, I love Indycar too

In terms of actual racing IndyCar is miles ahead of f1 and quite a bit better than WEC

​@@Nickg1059don't forget imsa. In the US it's all we have!

Finally found another maniac! I've watched the entire race the last 3 years, it just keeps getting better. Can't wait for next year.. Lamborghini, BMW, Alpine, Isotta (hell, maybe even Peugeot 😄) should be much more competitive, and we'll have a pair of V12 Valkyries to listen to.👌🏼

So you consider 4 hours behind a safety car competitive?

their one year old WEC team seems better than their F1 shamble-factory already

France 🇫🇷 ☕️

not sure he wanna know about f1 atm

He wouldn’t

I'm not sure he'd be proud of the fact his company is run with such prissy arrogance as to actually sue its own customers for doing what they want to their own cars.

Did bro not see the Canada gp 💀

Didn’t Enzo famously not care for street cars and only begrudgingly sold them to fund the scuderia?

Right? 8 or 9 competitive Hypercar marques instead of 4, plus a pair of NA V12s to listen to. 🎶

haha here as well, i fell asleep briefly and watched 21 out of 24 hours, my son could not keep his eyes open around 2 o clock, and woke up around 9am.. pissed of course because he really wanted to see the cars race at night.. i was happy i could tell him he didnt miss alot because of the 5 hour safety car parade in torrential rainfall.

'managed'? did you fell asleep or was it the wife? ;-) didn't you feel weird when it was over?

@@ukrainica9121 Lolx a bit of both but it was fathersday weekend so I wasn’t bothered too much 😂. When I did have to leave the tv i just put in my headphones and streamed it on my phone. I was def tired the rest of Saturday. It was my first time watching a Le Mans race so I wanted to enjoy as much as I could.

@@mightymurph3949 Le Mans is usually held on Father's Day weekend, haha. It's also my free pass to watch the entire race 😋

They will, it'll be out in about 10 days. Check out WEC Full Access, they do them for every race and most of it is behind the scenes footage. It's amazing.

This is just a get out the highlights video on race day production. In a week or two the All Access video will be a 45 minute production with a lot more content.

Make it 1440 minutes!

@@MarcKloos Please don't! I can't be awake for 27 hours straight again until next year. 😄

@@ragereset2795 Thanks! That sounds awesome 😁

They aren't putting the same effort in GT3, for ford is the main goal but it isn't for Ferrari. The 296 already proved to be an excellent platform.

​​@@robertop.2700 If you're saying Ford isn't putting all their efforts behind the GT3 Mustang. Your completely wrong. A new first year Dark Horse Mustang finishing 3rd on the podium with it's sister car placing 4th with All 3 Mustangs finishing the 24 hours of LeMans. The Mustang is no longer a muscle car. It's now a GT sports car that can compete with the other brands like Ferrari, Mercedes, Aston Martin, BMW and the Chevy C8 GT3 Corvette. Ford's even taking the Mustang to a higher street and track level with it's new GTD Mustang Supercar with it's 800+ Horsepower 5.2 special purpose built engine. 8 speed DCT transaxle. Ford's is in it to win it.

He is saying Ferrari isn't putting the effort not Ford​@@DWH300

@@DWH300 you can't read or what?

@@jack_2612*Or What*. When reading the sentence. I misread *THEY* as Ford, because why would anyone think Ferrari didn't care about winning the GT3 class. Ferrari profits come form selling their expensive cars. Not from their factory Hyper race cars. They certainly didn't want to finish behind Ford while seeing Ford on the LeMans podium in GT3. . A hugh failure for Ferrari who last year produced a huge 5.97 Billion dollars from only selling 13,663 cars. I guarantee they care about their terrible GT3 performance having started (8) 296s at LeMans with zero on the podium.

1 first place or nothing

Really hope they run the factory Caddy next year, though l don't envy them the liaison with GM executives if they do..

@@davidluna2163 Get a life

😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏F A N T A S T I C O

why are you on youtube right now?

Wow lucky 🎉🎉

*cries in Australian*

@@andreshermans2068 I was still at the track, near parc ferme and I was going through every single video I could find

See the other 10 min round-up video, it’s just talking heads though. Putting together highlights for three races in about 3 hours is probably too much.

They'll feature in both the 1hr post-race videos due next week. Love GT3 but with all the cars brand new for this year, the racing inevitably wasn't close enough. The field can't really be BoPped accurately yet, kind of like the early days of Hypercar.

@@ragereset2795 Too long! The hype will be gone. And yeah, I understand your point.

Right, to win the 24h Nurburgring at the debut it's totally nonsense. WEC 296 GT3s have just poor drivers, except Daniel Serra.

@@gabrielegabriele8099Lol that was a year ago. Qatar: 5th & 7th Imola: 4th & 12th Spa: 6th & 13th Le Mans: 6th & dead last DNF They haven't finished on the lead lap once this year. Blame the drivers if you want, fact is there's more competition and the 296 hasn't delivered.

@@ragereset2795 And those results what are supposed to demonstrate, if not what I told ? Exactly this, in the two teams 2 drivers out of 3 are poor. 296 GT3 wins in this year's 24 Daytona and some races in ADAC and GT world competitions. Then, it is maybe true that 296 is perhaps not at the peak of performances in terms of development. Ferrari does not put much focus on it, most likely due to resources routed mainly in the LMH project. Chances are that the development is not followed by the factory but by AF corse which has difficult in translating knowledge from the 488 GT3 world. I find hard to believe that the 296 is a flop, sharing nearly the same base engine with the 499P and having the availability of a careful planned aerodynamics. Then, I would like to NOT say that 296 seems to be severely impacted by BoP, I don't want to start another flame discussion. That does not means that without BoP the 296 will win everywhere, of course, but maybe we could see an increase of performances.

Shit happens, look at Corvette. Also that M4 has been bullying the supercars considering its basically a saloon car. 3rd in the Championship by 30 points over 4th and just 2 points behind 1st and 2nd which are both Porsche's tied on 75 points. Porsche leading both Hypercars and the GT3 class.

@@gabrielegabriele8099 So you're saying Ferrari don't bother to nurture the 296 program? I sort of agree, but that's not a defence of them. I agree the 296 isn't fully developed, and we'll definitely see it improve. But the fact remains it just got beat at Le Mans by a couple of Mustangs. The fact it won NBR24 a year ago makes it worse; the Mustang don't even exist a year ago.

Honestly, it was a boring race with a huge segment just driving around to waste time.

@@truantray Fortunately I was able to sleep and miss absolutely nothing!

didn't ask

LMAO another F1 refugee who thinks this is the complete post-race package. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Full Access makes an absolute mockery of anything F1 does to cover their boring, predictable soap opera of a sport. 😅

F1 is a dead horse, WEC is just better in everything else Cars (all of them in all different shapes and sizes, even applies to the GT3's) Driver lineups (most of them are ex-F1, whereas Stroll has always had a seat since 2017 without showing any sort of merit) tracks (most of the tracks that both series race on are the same (only exceptions being Fuji and Le Mans) but its more interesting in WEC than in F1)

F1 broadcasting is cool but their races are meh.

👶🏻

Ferrari definitely gets special treatment always!

@@MMAli-rq8kdYes, that’s why they were forced to pit the #50 just to close the passenger door that was never going to break off. Clear favoritism for Ferrari…

@@BlueSkyCrystals That's a rule for safety reasons, if your driver can't manage to close the door you have to pit and fix it, it's applied to anyone not just ferrari🤦‍♂

@@BlueSkyCrystals Favorism is letting someone get away with breaking the rules like not getting a penalty for an unsafe release, or giving them a small penalty for an error that caused their opponent to lose their chance at winning the race.

That's shit tbh. Same in all sports though. If you're not someone everyone knows and wants you get nothing compared to your competition. And obviously the event holders make a bomb. That's tickets. But what about all the other things you buy and pay for when you're there. And at Le Man. Money is there to be spent and made though. So no one can be mad at any of it. Hope everyone had a good time

Explains why Toyota won 5 championships in a row.

It will come.

We got shit to do 10 min is enough kid

Be patient. More will come.

The entire RU-vid is for ADD, so even 10 minutes is too long.

Bro the race just ended. Give them a few days

Don't forget the Bathurst 12hr!

And 7 hour of Nordschleife!

8:21 - No the Ferrari broke the line first (the line is before where you think it is) and then eased off as he was down to 2% total energy #50 did not have another full speed lap in it. If this wasn’t 🏁 he’d have to box for fuel 🙀

time was up, the race was over.

At least with hydrogen combustion pushed back (yet) another year, Toyota can now build the GR060. 👌🏼

These aren't even the proper highlights, they come out in a week. This is like a teaser.

Even if it did I'm sure you'd find something else to bitch about.

Especially the #46... Rossi was great in his stint

@@SPProduction02 yeah as an Omani I feel terrible for Harthy...

Not really a BMW fan. But they were doing pretty good.

u know its bad when BOTH the GT and LMP cars were out like bruh BMW wouldn't catch a break

Such a horrible, horrible Le Mans for WRT. At least an M4 got on the podium.

The 50 got first. Not the 51. But the no.8 Toyota had realistic chances to catch up with the no 50. more so than the no.7 that eventually took 2nd place.

They will. There'll be Full Access and Race Review, an hour each in about a week. You gotta let them get some sleep! 😄

How entitled are you? This was made handful of hours after the race ended and you expect it to be comprehensive? Editing takes a while, be patient ffs.

Great race though.

didn't ask

So the crying still hasnt stopped? Is wec fandom going to become as toxic as f1 now?

and now cry less and go to bed after the no further action

Try to be hired by FIA as a consultant if you want to make things more pleasant for your tastes. Maybe you can add one penalty to the 765 already received by Ferrari. Kubicka saw a possible win evaporated due to a lapped dement which refuses to give the way.

@@askeladden450As long as they make terrible decisions, yes there will be people complaining and they have every right to do so.

Nothing tops 2011, yet.

Gotta be between this one and last year.

@@ragereset2795 too many safety cars for too long. Hyper car field looks amazing but contenders are only like 6 cars.

@@nathanz.6769 You can't race at night in pouring rain because water gets thrown up and the headlights turn it white so you can't see. Get angry at Mother Nature if you like but it couldn't be helped. They did wait too long to restart once the sun was up, though.

Slicks in the wet won United the race.

the torpedo strikes again

@@stevenpinneo6590 Well thats racing XD

Tenth for a chassis that's new this year and has never been to Le Mans before against is an incredible result. Well, unless you're a 9yo boy. Maybe you are.

@@ragereset2795 most of the F1 fanbois know Kvyat for crashing, he's better than Perez in a Red Bull for sure

@@ragereset2795 true(well im 13 but idk lol)

It was like that the whole race, GT3 and LMP2 barely got any TV coverage

That's because this is only a thrown-together-on-no-sleep teaser. Full Access and Race Review will be an hour each. I agree the P2s got shafted, they always do and it's annoying. I think it's because the class is doomed to be quietly removed over the next few years. Can't complain about GT3 though; they're so new that nobody's really figured them out yet. It makes them almost impossible to BoP accurately, l kept an eye on them in timing and there wasn't much close racing. Next year will be miles better.

Bro, that's the race director 💀

No, you probably never will. Anyone who wants hour-long recaps before the cars have even cooled down probably struggles to understand a lot of things.

You will get the full race replay in some days, stop complaining

@@ragereset2795 I had something else written, but then I found your other comments. Seems like you like to argue for fun. Not interested.
