Porsche Le Mans
The starting🥂 grid for the 2024 24h of Le Mans is led by the #6 Porsche of Kevin Estre, Andre Lottere and Laurens Vanthoor.
Estre was the driver chosen by the world chaᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚmpionship leaders for Hyperpole, and what a decision it was from the German manufacturer as Estre snatched pole from Cadillac with his fꦜinal push lap.
Second was the #2 Cadillac driven by Alex Lynn, however, Lynn, Alex Palou and Earl Bamber will start seventh after carrying over a five-place grid penalty fromꩵ Spa.
That means darling of the French crowd, Sebastien Bourdais and the #3 Cadillac will start alongside the #6 Porsc♚he on the front row.
The second row is an all-Ferrari one as the #51 will sꩵtart ahead of the #50 machine.
Antonio Fuoco looked poised to fight✤ for pole until red flags halted his charge in Hyperp𒐪ole.
The full grid goes as followed.
