Michelin 24h Series 2026: Barcelona race part 7

We kicked off at midday Saturday with a wonderful ceremony of some traditional dancing and the Spanish and Catalan anthems.

An early mistake though from Bolsteader, Maxime Martin breaking out of column and picking up a penalty for braking formation on the start.

But it didn't matter because Michael Grenier in the Ajit Red Ant Racing Mercedes

forged to

the front and led early on.

few drivers coming a little bit of cropper at turn nine slipping and sliding over the gravel on the exit of that very fast right hander

throwing gravel up all around it was early problems for the not only

motorsport legia js2r but they managed to get on top of those and carry on and looking like they are going to be champions if they can keep going A little bit of a tangle in traffic on a couple of occasions between several GT cars and some of the lower runners.

Most notably, I think, the RPM Porsche tipping the Honda off the road, and it was end of day for that number 124 car.

Very few tyre damages actually throughout the race, but one, unfortunately, for one of the SEATs.

And the final corner also causing issues for a few drivers throughout the race as well.

There's been some rough and tumble throughout the race between the classes.

As we headed in tonight, who would forge ahead? This was where it all went wrong for Team Get Speed.

First, a gearbox failure on the number 286 car, and then as they're repairing that, the garage cleared, and

there appeared the number 28 PCX Get Speed Mercedes, a wheel

bearing problem that took a while to repair as well.

A fairly frantic time in the Get Speed Garage.

They even lent a hand to fix our pit lane reporter's mic pack as well.

So they had their hands full.

The fireworks went off in the air at midnight, but also on track as...

the picture of the race started to form and as we emerged into daytime it was the get to race porsche that emerged ahead but with the hofer racing

clean on their heels and ready

to

pounce with any issue at all

little bit of a delay in the past pit stops as well for up to race deciding to make a driver change without having the driver ready and then a long coat 60 triggered by the ferrari for air and motorsport just a tiny mistake from dwight merriman with a major consequence one very badly damaged ferrari and sadly race over for them Ajit Kumar, the most popular man in the Michelin 24-hour series completing his stint handing over to Yannick Redon and in the moment they sit 5th overall, 2nd in the Pro-Am category
