Le Mans 2025 — race report & highlights
Just back from Le Mans for the third consecutive year and honestly it never gets old. A few highlights: The hypercar battle was genuinely unpredictable this year. The Toyota GR010 led for 14 hours before a gearbox issue dropped it to third. The Ferrari 499P #51 came through in extraordinary fashion after a nose change at 3am. The atmosphere at night is something photographs will never capture — 300,000 people under the stars, 50+ cars screaming down the Mulsanne at 340+ km/h (yes, modern LMH prototypes on the two straights), the smell of warm brakes and fuel. If you've never been: GO. One year. Just do it. Happy to answer questions about logistics, camping, where to watch from, best grandstands.
Not greenwashing in the technical sense — the fuel genuinely is drop-in and genuinely is derived from waste streams rather than crude. Whether the marketing framing oversells its overall environmental impact given everything else the sport does is a separate, fair question.
Aus technischer Sicht ist es beeindruckend, dass die Leistung identisch bleibt. Ob es den CO2-Fußabdruck der gesamten Serie tatsächlich signifikant senkt, ist eine andere Diskussion, aber als Beweis für Kraftstofftechnologie ist es wertvoll.
