Ferrari SF-23 2nd Las Vegas 2023 #16 Leclerc - Reference BBRC294A
We were treated to another intriguing Grand Prix in Hungary. I don't what your feelings are about team orders but... Porsche celebrated a World Championship win in the final round of Formula E stealing the title from favourites Jaguar. Once again Kalle Rovanpera showed what a prodigy he truly is by winning WRC Latvia, another of his occasional appearances for 2024, not long after winning his first circuit race in the Benelux Porsche Carrera Cup. The IndyCar race from Toronto was carnage from lap one to near the end including a red flag period to sweep up all the broken cars from one multiple driver misadventure.
There is no letup for the Grand Prix circus but what a way to end the first half of the season with its visit to Spa Francorchamps. Otherwise it is a quiet weekend, GT fans can enjoy the GTWCEC from the Nurburgring.
