Norris ends with Verstappen as 25th in 24 hours Le Mans; Rebellion-Williams wins
- GPblog.com
The online 24 hours of Le Mans is over and the Rebellion Williams team of Marciello, Deletraz, Brzezinksi and Wisniewski have completed most laps after 24 hours. Max Verstappen seemed to be able to go for a nice classification with Lando Norris, Atze Kerkhof, Greger Huttu, but in the end Team Redline's car finished well behind.
Until midnight Verstappen and his teammates were always in first or second place, but at that moment a lot of problems occurred. Due to problems with the server, the stables had to give up first place and later it even seemed to be the end of the race. Because of the software Verstappen crashed, causing the car to be damaged enormously.
Running out of the race wasn't even an option, but when the entire server of rFactor had to be reset on Sunday morning, Verstappen and co. got the opportunity to return to the race a few hours later. However, they couldn't get their hopes up and in the end the Team Redline team finished no less than 146 laps behind, good for P25 in the official final result.
Leclerc not to be found at the front of the race
In the GTE class Porsche proved to be the fastest. Aston Martin and Corvette were able to seize second and third places. Not only Verstappen and Norris competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, as Charles Leclerc also made his appearance. In the GTE class he finished sixteenth with Ferrari.
