Watch the race preview of the 2024 24 Hours of Le Mans, round 4 of the FIA World Endurance Championship with Alexa Rendell and Sam Smith.
Some rain about, and already drama during the short warm up session earlier today - Nyck de Vries in the #7 Toyota Hypercar ran into the back of our own Kelvin van der Linde’s Lexus GT3. Significant damage to both cars.
Xitter link if the video does work: x.com
Initially looks like the Lexus brakes without reason, but it’s KvdL - either something happened in the car, or NdV missed something when he was looking at his steering wheel.
Part of the warmup was declared Wet, with a lot more rain forecast through the whole of the 24 hours. Some heavy showers forecast for the dark, early hours tomorrow morning which may even trigger a red flag situation during the worst of it.

Ferrari take another Le Mans win! The #50 Ferrari 14 seconds ahead of the #7 Toyota with last year’s winner, the #51 Ferrari in P3 another 22 seconds behind. The top 9 cars all finished on the lead lap, proving again that the BOP regulations are working in the WEC.

An amazing race again this year, despite the almost 6 hours behind the safety car through some insane rain showers in the dark. Quality racing across all three categories.
The Sheldon van der Linde BMW Hypercar #20 had major issues early in the race after a heavy crash and spent most of the second half in its pit. They hoped to emerge for a final tour in order to secure a classified Le Mans finish but sadly ended up showing as “Not Classified” on the results screens. Brother Kelvin’s GT3 Lexus had a better result, finishing P7 in the category after starting from the pitlane.

Good racing in tricky conditions. Ferrari nailed that strategy in the end. Good to see it close enough in the last stages that they have to keep it on track and at pace, and not just coast to the finish.

First major race of the 2025 motorsport season is the Rolex 24 at Daytona. The 63rd running of the legendary 24-hour race has a 61-car grid competing across 4 categories: Grand Touring Prototype (GTP), Le Mans Prototype 2 (LMP2), Grand Touring Daytona Pro (GTDP) and Grand Touring Daytona (GTD).
The 61 cars will include more than 230 drivers from 31 countries and virtually every major racing series – Formula One, NASCAR, IndyCar, Australian Supercars, and Formula E. Included in the field are 3 South Africans: Sheldon van der Linde (#25 BMW M Team RLL - BMW M Hybrid V8 GTP); Kelvin van der Linde (#1 Paul Miller Racing - BMW M4 GT3 EVO GTDO); and Jordan Pepper (#9 Pfaff Motorsports - Lamborghini Huracan GT3 EVO2).

90 minutes left to run, and the gaps between the leaders in all four classes are mere seconds. Sure, there’s been a few Safety Cars and a Full Course Yellow or two, but still… it’s going to be a close one!

Included in that lineup, for the first time in a while, the brothers Van Der Linde will be in the same car - Team WRT’s #32 BMW M4 GT3. Sheldon and Kelvin will share driving duties with Brazilian Augusto Farfus. MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi continues his motorsport life after two-wheels in the team’s sister #46 M4.
