FIA World Endurance Championship

Oh, I'm sure it's great to drive, but just sitting there watching cars go around in a circle, hoping for them to get into an accident is not racing, in my opinion.

So driving or race watching it, no driving it like it is a different breed in motorsport racing, like like F1, IMSA, WEC in those races.

When you're driving them, once you make a pass and you start establishing a gap, that's it.

That guy's gone from behind you.

Brad, when is the LMDH car supposed to be ready for next year? Yep,

be in WEC next year, along with McLaren as

well.

All right, I know the answer to the next question, Mike, is, is that Mike? Because I don't think you were in this split.

We obviously pay a lot of attention to the track surface.

Um, I had talked to WEC drivers in the past and they said that things were good, even though Max pointed to a lot of the bumps, something that he said that we didn't know about.

And I'm saying we, for him, not us, we certainly didn't know, but is that there was a dip at the bottom of turn one.

And he's like that, that we're going to fix.

that still does trickle through it's just finding its way in yeah more and more elite levels of most sport that possibly historically manufacturers were more interested in world rally championships for Audi for example um And Ford are obviously big in that as well.

You've had Endurance Racing, Le Mans, and WEC.

More recently,

we've had the EV, Formula E, bringing in a load of manufacturers.

I'm just hoping, slash maybe predicting a little bit, but definitely hoping that Okon can take some of his momentum from having had a good Kota weekend where he was definitively better than his teammate last and he can carry that forward into Mexico and have some good races, especially because the man's got to put himself in a shop window because he's out of a job at the end of the year.

And so he's got to at least attract the attention of a WEC or IndyCar or some sort of team, whatever he's going to do, honestly.

As you know, I think Ocon's reputation for racing aggression is overinflated and not accurate but however if it was it would be freaking hysterical to see him go to nascar oh god

it'd be it'd be like uh the one motor sport where aggression is

And Miles Rowe will not be on the IndyCar grid anytime soon.

He's probably going to go to IMSA as well, or WEC.

So that's also going to be sad to see

him.

probably not alongside Valtteri Bottas but maybe as Nick mentioned earlier with Kiwi driver Lawson Lynn Lawson or with have you got any more numbers to throw at me before we finish no okay

so we'll knock it on the head then thank you very much to Ryan Marine who was tremendous as always we will actually be speaking to Ryan in the next So next couple of weeks, as we start our review of the IMSA championship seasons, obviously we haven't finished WEC yet.

We have just finished ELMS.

So we'll have Johnny on to talk about, Johnny Palmer to talk about those two.
