Le Mans Hour 1: Toyotas run 1-2

The 90th running of the Le Mans 24 Hours is underway with one hour of racing completed in front of large crowds and perfect warm and sunny conditions.

Toyota run 1-2 but the No.7 car driven by Mike Conway overtakes No.8 car of Sebastien Buemi after 45-minutes of racing.

Corvette Racing similarly run in formation at front of the LMGTE Pro category as Porsche and Ferrari give chase.

Corvette Racing; 24 Hours of Le Mans in Le Mans, France; June 11-12, 2022; Corvette C8.R #64 driven by Tommy Milner, Nick Tandy, and Alexander Sims (Richard Prince/Chevrolet Photo).

LMP2 sees the most drama with a first corner incident compromising two front runners – the No.31 WRT and No.22 United Autosports USA entries.

Hardpoint Motorsport lead LMGTE Am from Team Project 1 Porsche.
