Well Aston Martin won the 2017 Le Mans Race this year.
They did a great job beating the rest of the field.
Ford was a few seconds behind Aston Martin (after 24 hours of racing and having to carry an additional 44 lbs of weight and run restricted boost) so that the competition was close to equal. Chevrolet got third place on the podium.
Ferrari was a "No Show" on the Podium so Ford has again beat Ferrari in the Le Mans Racing (50 years later). Ford won in 1966 and in 1967 (Gurney/Foyt). We won last year and this year Second Place. If we had been able to run in the same configuration as last year's winning car we might have been first on the podium again. But it is what it is.
The Chevrolet guys pulled a couple of boner moves during the race, (poor, really poor).
So another year is over. Jackie Chan's Le Mans Team was kicking butt most of the race too in their class.
