The highlight of this penultimate day was the Hyperpole, in its new format, which delivered its verdict. On the starting grid for this 93rd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the #28 car will start in 9th place and the #18 car in 14th.
Four additional hours of testing were also on the program, including one hour at night, a totally unique experience, as our young rookie in the #18, Mathys Jaubert, tells us: “It’s just amazing to drive on this track at night! Of course, you have to get your bearings, especially when it comes to the Hypercars. With the headlights, it’s quite difficult to gauge where they are in relation to us. The most striking thing is the effect of speed. It feels like you’re going much faster, so you have to find completely different reference points. But thanks to the information provided by the engineer, everything is becoming more and more natural behind the wheel.“
Finally, Thursday, June 12, was an opportunity for the media to meet IDEC SPORT, which is celebrating its 10th anniversary. The French and international press turned out in force and conducted various interviews in a relaxed and enthusiastic atmosphere.
Tomorrow, Friday, June 13, is the last day before THE long-awaited event. The six drivers will meet with numerous fans during the parade, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, while the team will take care of the two Oreca 07 cars.
