The 24 Hours of Le Mans

THE LE MANS OF 23

     Ferrari took a victory at this year's (2023) 24 Hours of Le Mans, it was the historic race’s 100th race, and this year it’s been one of the best races since. 

     Just as a quick summary, the ACID Death Wings is our Car Club, for everyone to join, completely free to express ourselves in automotive culture, no matter what you're into, we seek to create a close community of like minded gear heads and we will be creating merch and more soon! 

     This year’s 24 hour endurance race was an absolute spectacle, of course it was the race’s 100th race, which is an incredible milestone, so many races have been held, rivalries, state of the art engineering, legendary cars and drivers have set records and driven the hardest in these past years. The race pushes the human senses to an all time max and this is the biggest challenge for the team’s completing, a full 24 hours of endurance driving at top speeds and correcting problems along the way, a true test of skill. This year we had a Nascar cup car competing too, it was a modified version of a cup car though, don’t worry, it wasn’t fully changed, it’s alterations included carbon aero canards and part’s along the whole body of the car, it actually has headlights, the steering wheel was different and parts of the suspension and such have been tuned to the Le Mans circuit, overall the car is 200 pounds lighter, and while is performed very well in qualifying and the practice runs, expectations were very low for the stock car due to its very different background in Motorsport racing, and of course many Motorsport fans created a controversy on this, saying the car can only turn left, and in the event of it raining, the car will be undriveable, the heavy American can complete, then the car set an almost 3 second lap time faster than the entire LMGTE AM class, safe to say the haters got a taste of freedom, however, yes it’s not a fair comparison because the nascar was in its own class called “innovative” and it’s not setup like the GT cars, those cars are fast in their own right and follow rules and regulations to meet a certain standard, in other words, those cars are nerfed to GT rules and the nascar ran free, however it was a special moment in racing. We also had the Cadillac Hypercar racing and it was wild, the winners of the race was the #51 Ferrari AF Corse team in the Hypercar class, #34 Inter Eruopol Competition team in LMP2 and the #33 Corvette Racing team in LMGTE AM. We had incredible liveries this year, great drivers, good action and an excitement unlike other, the past years have been complicated with the Covid Psyop going on and all the racing drama alongside it, however, it seems like we’re back in our feet and we have an exciting future ahead in the 24 Hours of Le Mans and all motorsports. 

     We will be having more Motorsport car talks as well as commercial car news and updates following the next couple of months as we unravel this year bit by bit, stay tuned for our upcoming podcast episodes, apparel drops and collections, events, and more, we’re excited to bring you into the wavelength and show you the divine possibilities, till next time.
