The NASCRAP media machine is gloating about “OMG teh NASCAR is faster than the fancy European cars hahaha!”

Bear in mind that the Garage 56 car is not, strictly speaking, competing in the race, and has not been BOP’d, unlike every other car in the field.

I was at Le Mans in 2018, and the then brand new Aston Martin Vantage GT3 turned a lap in the Road To Le Mans support race that was faster than the GTE Pro pole time.

I’m looking forward to Le Mans this weekend. Particularly the Garage 56 NASCAR effort. The modified Gen 6 car has been very quick in practices. Curious to see if they make it the finish.

Speaking of NASCAR and Le Mans; Championship winning Toyota Gazoo Racing Driver and Team Principal, Kamui Kobayashi is set to make his NASCAR Cup debut a the indy road course this summer. I consider Kobayashi to be one of the best drivers in the world and am excited to see how he does.
