Notes from Le Mans 2021 : - Remove car rollers before formation lap. - Driving backwards before Porsche corners is a bad idea. - Stricter eyesight test to get a license. - Don’t let people with 🏁 flags walk on the track. Anything else ?

1/3 I’ll probably never be ready to put this into words.. What happened yesterday was a nightmare. I know I’m smarter, I know you don’t take that amount of risk in a 24h race. It’s painful to be this open in public but the reason behind is that I was racing my brother.

24 Hours of Daytona: P5. We knew that we were going to be off the pace by two seconds. So our strategy was to stay out of trouble and be smart on strategy to stay on the lead lap. And that’s what we did.. We executed a perfect race without any mistakes but P5 is what we got.

Yes, it's true. Porsche will pull the plug on our GTLM program in IMSA at the end of this year. No words can describe how this feels. Over the years we build up such a strong team of people. This was always my dream program to do.. It's such a shame that this had to end.
