24h Le Mans
The Mugello circuit in Italy will host the penultimate race of the 2024 European Le Mans Series this weekend. The intense round will see a staggering 43 contenders fight for the top spot on the podium.
European Le Mans Series fans are gearing up for an electrifying 2024 4 Hours of Mugello with titles still up for grabs. In LMP2, the championship's head category, the competition is tighter than ever. Robert Kubica, Louis Delétraz and Jonny Edgar sharing AO by TF's #14 ORECA 07-Gibson currently lead the standings with 65 points, a narrow two-point lead on Inter Europol Competition's #43 ORECA, paving the way for a cutthroat duel to the chequered flag.
In LMP2 Pro/Am, Italian team AF Corse dominates the classification with 80 points, well on its way to a second consecutive trophy. Alessio Rovera, François Perrodo and Matthieu Vaxivière are determined to secure the crown again on their home turf, but Algarve Pro Racing is still in the running with Alex Quinn, Richard Bradley and Kriton Lentoudis looking to take advantage of the slightest error and make up the 20 points separating them from first place.
In the LMP3 category, Italian outfit Eurointernational could very well clinch the title after a second win in a row at Spa. Matt Richard Bell and Adam Ali have a 14-point advantage on RLR MSport and a victory at Mugello could see them cap off the season even before the final round.
The fight for the LMGT3 trophy boils down to one point between the top two cars. Thanks to a solid result at Spa, Swiss team Racing Spirit of Léman and the #59 Aston Martin Vantage AMR LMGT3 lead with 53 points, ahead of GR Racing's #86 Ferrari 296 LMGT3 driven by Italian fan favourites Davide Rigon and Riccardo Pera.
Despite an incident at Spa, Iron Lynx's #63 Lamborghini is still in the running with 49 points on the board. The Iron Dames team's all-female driver line-up composed of Michelle Gatting, Rahel Frey and Sarah Bovy will need to deliver an excellent showing to contend for the trophy.
