This weekend marks the 92nd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with 62 cars competing across three different classes. The lineup includes 15 types of cars, 14 car manufacturers, and over 30 different teams. There will be plenty of action across the 3 different classes of Hypercar, LMP2, and LMGT3. Most of the excitement and attention centers on the Hypercar class, which sees the return of Cadillac. American car enthusiasts are excited as Cadillac will be the only American manufacturer competing in the class this year. I’ll be watching intermittently, but I won’t be watching any specific class. I don’t have a horse in the race, but I enjoy the race for its history and importance in motorsports. Winning this race is one of the requirements for drivers to claim the unofficial Triple Crown of Motorsports. This prestigious achievement, only claimed by Graham Hill, requires winning at the Monaco Grand Prix (F1), Indianapolis 500 (Indycar), and 24 Hours of Le Mans (WEC). Who are you cheering for this year? Is there a specific class, team, or manufacturer you’re interested in? #24hoursoflemans #motorsport #cadillac
