Good evening dear listeners and welcome to the seventh TSF1 Podcast for the 2024 World Endurance Championship season, this time for the 6 Hours of Fuji. The Six Hours of Fuji race, held in the shadow of Mount Fuji, delivered non-stop action across both the Hypercar and LMGTE3 classes, starting with a dream start for Cadillac, leading ahead of Toyota, and Marco Wittmann’s BMW quickly moving into second place. Drama unfolded early as Mike Conway’s Toyota was forced onto the grass by Laurence Vantour’s Porsche, while a major incident saw the number 83 lock up and collide with Porsche, causing chaos that affected Alpine and Ferrari. Valentino Rossi shone with a stellar performance for BMW, overtaking several competitors and proving to be a highlight of the race. Meanwhile, Kevin Estre in the number 6 Porsche faced a scare when liquid on his brake pedal caused a lockup, but the team managed to recover. Ferrari and McLaren battled for their first wins in the LMGTE3 category, with Ferrari’s Davide Rigon and AF Corse securing their first victory of the season, while Porsche triumphed in the Hypercar class, defeating Toyota on their home track. The final stint saw BMW take second place, their best result of the season, while Alpine secured an emotional third-place finish, marking their first podium. With Porsche reclaiming the Manufacturers' Championship lead, the final race in Bahrain promises a thrilling showdown as Toyota, Ferrari, BMW, and McLaren all aim for big results.
