I wonder what is the best way to win the Le Mans 24 hour race

Le Mans was recently on, and it was cool. 24 hours of non-stop racing, long pit stops and funny radio comments, and that makes me wonder, what is the winning formula (one) of the Le Mans 24 Hour, so some time

and some facts













and I'll find out.

The most important thing is speed, and the fastest cars are the lmp1 cars

In the latest race, the number 8 Toyota LMP1 won the race. LMP, by the way, stands for Le Mans Prototype. They are hybrid cars that can travel up to 416 km/h, which is very fast. So that is the best car.

Next is drivers and crew. You need top drivers who are experienced that know the circuit very well,
know the brake markers and the best passing spots. Say, Sebastian Bourdais. It is his home track as he was born in Le Mans, France. He has been in it for almost 10 races and has won it 1 or 2 times in his class, so he is on the team. Next, let's take another person, a more recent winner. Take Fernando Alonso. Two time Formula One champion and 2018 overall Le Mans 24hr winner. He put the 2018 Toyota LMP1 team on the first spot of the grid and helped them to victory. And to complete the team of three, Earl Bamber. He is from New Zealand and has won the race twice overall and the Bathurst 12 hour twice in his class. He is also the 2017 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) winner and does very well in sports car racing.

So the driver line up is:

Sebastien Bourdais                   Fernando Alonso                         Earl Bamber

You also need a good pit crew to do a good pit stop and get out in front of the other cars so you can win Le Mans, but I don't know much about that so I'll just use the Toyota Crew.

And that is about it to win the Le Mans 24 Hour. You need a good car, three highly skilled drivers and the best crew around. I'm so excited for the 2019 Le Mans 24 hour and who know's, maybe my dream team will be there.
