Crossing the finish line at the end of the 24hrs will be a victory.

Alex Palou in the Ganassi Cadillac fastest in practice right now. The Hertz Jota 963 that made it into Hyperpole qualifying crashed last night and they're trying to build up a new car for Hyperpole later today.

Mustang 1st in qualifying yesterday! Top 8 qualifiers go to Hyperpole today.

Alpine have done shockingly well with their new cars, one of them making it into Hyperpole. They have a Live 24-Hour onboard feed:

Wow, what a qualifying round Bourdais lays down a fast time in the Cadillac and - like a boss - parks it with minutes to go. It's Ferrari's pole for the taking at that point but neither car can do it. With only a few seconds left, Alex Lynn in the other Ganassi Cadillac takes pole for an all Cadillac front row! But wait, there's one more car running. Kevin Estre in the Penske Porsche but they haven't been fast all week and nobody's paying attention. Ganassi is getting ready to crack the champagne when Estre crosses the line with Pole Position Porsche-Cadillac-Cadillac-Ferrari-Ferrari-Alpine.

Yeah I felt bad for Seb but quali in a 24 hours race means little. Bring it on. The Cadillacs look and sound great, the Ferrari are georgous, the Porsches look like platypus but they are Porsches, and toyota...who cares... Fun !!!

Probably right...it's a rookie effort. Lots to learn...

The updated list of WEC/IMSA engines with newbies Aston Martin. I'm really hoping that Honda pulls the trigger on a WEC/Le Mans program next year. Ganassi would be the logical team given they no longer have a dance partner for 2025.

Thanks for the thread and posts, gentlemen........wow....this should be a GOOD one!

After wrecking one of their 963s in practice, Jota had to shake down the rebuilt car at the Le Mans Airport yesterday
