- Where to even start? The centenary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans was the race of a lifetime. It did not disappoint with an incredibly unpredictable scenario until the final minutes and a fight between Ferrari and Toyota, which will be remembered as one of the most exciting duels to have happened at the world's biggest endurance race.
In collaboration with Motul, the WEC Full Access series is back with a full in-depth episode dedicated to the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans. The best moments of the race complemented with exclusive behind-the-scenes images will put you once again at the heart of the action!
The FIA World Endurance Championship is the world’s premier international sportscar championship, contested over seven rounds across North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East. With multiple cars across three categories (Hypercar, LMP2 and LMGTE Am) all on track at the same time, the WEC is a sports car extravaganza that offers action, overtakes, excitement and entertainment for fans worldwide. - Sport
It’s cool knowing that the first 24H of Lemans I watched in full was (by all indications) one of the best in years. Sports car racing is entering a new golden era
Welcome to the wonderful world of WEC dude. Tune in to monza in 2 weeks!
Def one of the best races and Le Mans I’ve watched. Wait til Lamborghini, bmw, and Acura come next year 😎
@@mikepod637 acura will come???
Welcome to the WEC!
@@JulienRicko dude you have no idea how insane lemans is going to be next year
so much better that that netflix show f1 has. Top knotch quality videos within days after the events. Absolutely brilliant!
yup i hate that it has too much of those interview in the darkroom. here they kept it to a minimum and just show cased on track action no manufactured drama.
Agreed, absolutely brilliant 👌
The WEC and IMSA teams allowed to create R&D engines and chassis for racing development without much restrictions unlike F1 limitations.
Oh gosh. Mr. Le Mans' speech to Hirakawa let me feel a lot of emotions.
Same. I remember being so freaking angry when he messed up. And I spotted Tom talking to Rye during the ceremony after the race and didn't think much of it, I honestly thought he was just congratulating him for second, I didn't realize it was so much more. Between the word of Ant and Tom, I've been left with a way different perspective than before. I'm just heartbroken for Ryu and the team, but he did leave it out on the track, took the necessary risks, and did everything he could out of that moment. Tom knew, saw that, and could speak to it. I think it just makes a world of difference when you hear these words of encouragement come out of someone who knows what it takes to beat Le Mans' mouth.
Poor Ryo 😢...next mate, next year...
Feel bad about him, on 2nd thought that he could go in for McLaren F1 team if Lando/Piastri no longer drive.
that was a 10/10 episode. amazing job
Brendon Hartley is such a good teammate. Yes the crash was unnecessary, but if Hirakawa didn’t decide to push to the absolute maximum, then they wouldnt even had the chance to win. Huge respect to Hartley that he’s trying to cheer up Hirakawa
Huge respect to Hirakawa, fantastic driver he pushed hard till the end even over the car to get first. You will get this one, we know it
Sucks to see him so upset 😔
That was a brilliant Le Mans, it livered up to the hype (pardon the pun), but has to be the best closest racing in decades. I watched most of the race from inside the 51 Ferrari cockpit with their live feed, apart from it landing up in the gravel at the first chicane on the Mulsanne in the night, the car never put a foot wrong, it worked like clockwork, even when it failed to restart on two of the pit stops there was no panic, Pier Guidi was calm as anything in the cockpit in the last pit stop, going through the restart procedures. Fabulous.
Toyota was rigged with heavier weight than Ferrari and was NOT allowed to use regenerative hybrid system...advantage to Ferrari and VW team.
@@LooxJJ that's what they get for winning it the last... 6 years?
@@LooxJJ "not allowed to use regenerative hybrid system"
Keep spreading misinformation buddy, very nice
@@Coporfo Its a fact. Do some fact checking
@@LooxJJ give some source at least
This is unbelievably high quality content. There is no motorsport in the world, not even F1, that’s doing anything close to this level of quality. Bravo!
Finally! That highlight felt a bit rushed, this omega race deserve a tad more love!
The entire video feels rushed. Netflix should make a multi-episode series about Le Mans 24hrs.
Probably because this is Le Mans 24. There is way more content than those in 6h Spa and Portimao.
The episode for 6h race is at a better pace (and I certainly suggest those videos).
But whatever, I can feel the passion in this video and definitely love it!
@@srcultureshock ?
One of the best 24h ever, this race was mega. Next year will even be more insane with hypercars. Can’t wait!
what a race , my sleep schedule is fucked but it was well worth it to watch this live
Man and machine - what a spectacle. The camaraderie within and amongst the teams is inspiring. Before the race, everyone seems "normal" and then when the visors come down ...
Dr. Porsche giving his respect to Ferrari just made my day
like wise you could see how happy antonello was..
🤮
@@atheist0627You = 🤏
This years edition was the perfect representation why the LeMans 24h is the greatest racing spectacle in the entirety of motorsport. All types of motorsport are great but when LeMans delivers that is just glorious
It's Driver vs their Machine and the sheer inevitability of time but it's so great when it's put together
The beautiful Ferrari 499P looks and performs like a spaceship and has won the 24 hours of Le Mans 2023. Alessandro PierGuidi just fantastic .....
THIS is the content we love! Keep it up!
What an emotional race, as Italian, and so Ferrari Fan, it was incredible, kudos to the all team Members, Coletta, Amato Ferrari, The Drivers, engineers, mechanics, all of them are part of the motorsport race history! And Let's go for Monza! #ForzaFerrari
🤮🤮🤮
I wish this was longer, i would watch even 2 hour version of this doc
Who’s going to rewatch the whole 24 again when they post the full race here?!?!
Def the first 6 hours
Me!!!
Me too
Me!
Yep again.
Shame that the Iron Dame's were completely ignored in this film. They were so so so very close to make history and fought so well all race long.
Agree, many other stories to tell about behind this race
They had a lot of focus for Spa. You could probably make about four or 5 of these and still miss a lot.
They actually would've been only the 2nd all-female lineup to get an LM class win, the Moynet team got a win in the 2L Sports class in 75
We're living in a time where we basically have Group C and Group B back! Long live motorsport!❤
Huge shoutout to the Iron Dames, who had been fighting for the lead in the second half and could have been on the podium if it wasn't for a brake issue
Goosebumps for 43 minutes long especially at the start with these crazy onboards ! Love this respectful and fair competition, love ya WEC and I can't wait for Monza
As an Italian and true Ferrari worshipper, I would have liked to comfort Hirakawa. Only respect for whole Toyota crew, they had all the pressure against them and were so close to an historic win.
Yes, I agree with Davidson: Toyota probably gained more supporter this year than in the past. They fought until the last second.
And it's not over yet.
im loving to see this. not scripted, real human emotions behind all the effort to prepare for the race(s).
and we see that toyota, in fact, aren't soulless winning machines

This was another brilliant episode! Loved the bit with Christensen and Ryo, so much humanity, humility and respect. Top job from the filming crew, best motorsport documentary out there.
But now, how about an FA special about Fabio's race with a broken foot and Corvette's rise to win from multiple laps behind? Maybe a 10-15 min extra video with these 2 extraordinary stories from the Centenary Race?
Ryo and Top-class Tom Kristensen. What a Legend Mr Le Mans !!!!
Good Video - Interesting briefing from Eduwardo Freitas - his little conversation with Seb. Beumi was interesting - you could see Buemi has respect for him.
Man, this tops drive to survive for me. I would love to see more Le Mans action!
Drive to survive is garbage
36:20 Editors captured this scene so well. The tense music. The writing on the left. Everyone's paniced faces. The clock ticking while showing us the toyota zooming past the track with insane speed. Ferrari engineers biting their nails . Gap is closing and then the power is back. Everyone in the ferrari paddock cheers while the toyota gr have their hopes crushed.
This is what I expected Drive To Survive to be when it released a few years ago.
Thanks for sticking to the true soul and story of this amazing sport/event!
Yeah, this video needs more exposure. Fascinating insight into one of the most iconic races of the year. I never watch it live and generally tend to catch the highlights, but this masterpiece ... this is just being spoilt. A nod from me for the solid subtitling and subheading. Underrated attention to detail continued throughout the piece which really helped me keep in touch with exactly what was going on.
Much respect to Hirakawa. He fought hard and it could have happened to any of them. Legendary installment of this legendary race
This is Le Mans as we all want to see it. The accidents at the beginning of the slow zones where dangerously unacceptable tough..
The conversation between Duval and his kids were so cute
Hi Team WEC ,, well i think it was said just after the race** BOY IS IT GOING TO BE A DIFFICULT** episode to edit for us all Well ** tem yoiu Hit It Spot On!!! Well Done Editing was Awesome Quality and Content Spot On and FAST Moving WithOut Loosing Atmosphere And Story Brilliant Thrilled And Thank You all. Best Wishes Tony c Uk 😁🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇🥇
Great job editing team. Ur contributions are acknowledged and will help the power grow tremendously
I like the subtitles, pretty cool idea.
Super editing job. Wish it was much longer. A special call out to Mr. Le Mans for talking to Ryo and Ben Hartley also. I watched most of the broadcast, but this was really special.Thanks.
28:42 is the best moment in this whole video.
Fantastic watch - the cockpit footage of some of the hypercar action was breathtaking. First Le Mans I've watched live and just finished the replay a few days ago. Exciting times for WEC!
Even at 43 minutes it felt short 😂 What a race!
Finally delivered. Absolutely fantastic film making this time
I like how the event was so big it took them almost double the normal time to cut it together. I'm totally for it. Such an insane event they can take as long as they need to get these highlights out. And this race will probably have plenty of other perspectives cut together for a while to come. An epic race.
could argue that it deserved to be longer than 43 minutes, not saying you were right or wrong to leave things out of the final edit that's the way things go, 186 drivers in 62 cars sure every single one of them had a story to tell but not everyone of those stories were meant to be told here though
A 43 minute video with hours of footage is probably a 100+ task between a team of editors, publishers etc.
I strongly suspect there is data that shows that any video over 45 minutes on CZcams causes a reaction among viewers to not click and open. I know that I have seen videos on other subjects that are over an hour and it instantly causes me to think twice about devoting that much time to any subject. I think WEC does the best they can.
@@williamford9564 smart man here
Great video! Great race! Great action
What an ephic race. Finally able to see top class cars very close each other. There was so much happening to Hypercars that lmp2 and GTE lost TV coverage. Anyway a director can transform this race edition in a movie whitout adding any artificial drama.
I'm tearing up. Incredible race, incredible video
Amazing coverage, thank you!
So, I'll admit I was hyped for this years Le Mans but I wasn't as hype for it as previous years. My mom ALWAYS knew I was hype for Le Mans and it was my favorite race of the entire year she'd never watch all of it with me but she'd watch some of it she knew Audi or Toyota would win in years past and she only had to watch 4 hours of the race. 😂 Unfortunately she passed away the week of Christmas so personally Le Mans hit different this year and I wasn't as hyped for it on top of what else has been going on in my personal life. HOWEVER, I still enjoyed the race it was incredible lots of great action throughout I just wish I could've been more invested in it. Next year will be different and I'm looking forward to it. ❤
thanks for the behind the scenes edit, super race, see you next year!
Great behind the scenes video, a few caption errors FYI -
39:26 You had a purple sector
40:04 The rears were locking
41:54 your, not you're
AMAZING !
I watched as much of the race live as I was humanly able. But this recap captured absolutely everything. Excellent editing!
This was really well edited and put together, BRAVO
This was Great!
25:34-26:18 respect to these drivers driving in the dark when it’s raining 🙏🙌
Superbe vidéo. Bravo !
100% worth the wait, it was brillant though it wouldve been great to see some more teams discussing tyre strategy and pitting when it started raining as it was a high drama point
Thank you very much for making us feel as of we've been there.
WEC, you have done something right.
Great video. I've seen a few Le Mans films and this is definitely one of the very best.
For all involved, it might be a lot of work, it might feel the longest work day but I'm certain everyone would say its the best work they've had 💪💪
Amazing coverage of a glorious race! The only thing I wish they'd covered was Fabio Scherer's heroic drive to the win in LMP2 with a broken foot that was so bad he had to hop to the car every driver change. Of course he was in tears in victory lane after parking the car. Again, an amazing race and such amazing stories behind it.
Again thank you for posting to CZcams otherwise I'd never get to watch the race. Great camera and story.
I feel like this should be three episodes
Phenomenal video!
some of the footage makes it feel like a new version of Steve McQueen’s “Le Mans” movie; this is great stuff!! Thank you WEC!
Amazing episode. The best you've made. Congrats.
Spectacular win
A great race, but also a great video you made for us here! Please more of that! :)
Got to say it again, BOP in hypercar must have been almost spot on - so many makes lead, and the winner was the car with fewest mistakes and problems.
Fantastic Allways !!!!
Let’s be honest… which team will Max be racing for once he finally joins WEC? Ferrari my god I loved their journey, Cadillac can be proud, Toyota are fighters till the end, Peugeot never gave up, Porsche was classic prestige!! We’re in for a crazy next 5-10 years in this sport I love it!!!
If we're talking Max Verstappen, probably Toyota since they're affiliated with RB. I sure hope he won't do it though. I really wanna see Charles give it a go with Ferrari though, that'd be exciting.
42:35 "it's a parade inside my city yeah" 🎵
Fabio Scherer, driving for an underdog team, so very young, with a broken foot, and yet delivered to become a Le Mans winner! Just incredible, I can understand the flow of emotions, so proud of him! A new motorsport hero, for sure.
Been waiting for this
Very emotional all moment of this race.
I've waited 50 years to see racing this competitive with such exciting cars and drivers.
I see so many people say that WEC is boring and that they need to just run 3 separate races instead of doing all three classes at once. That'd ruin the excitement though. there's never a dull moment in the WEC BECAUSE of the three classes battling jt out at all times, whether it be 6 hours or 24 hours. There might be downtime, but that's typically filled in with balls-to-the-wall laps that showcase just how intense these races are. As Louise Beckett said, there's highs and lows to these races, especially Le Mans. But it's never quite boring if you just look beyond Hypercar.
It was a spectacular edition ! A huge thank you to the whole team for commenting and making Le Mans so alive !!
I reckon this series of features is the best motor-racing series ever. However, please get rid of the fixed sub-titles and go of CC that can be switched off.
'disrespect a marshall and I'll take it personally'. Eduardo is a boss!!!
best race in the world.. beats the other in the triple crown by a mile
Looking forward seeing all endurance racing combined into one series.
Can't wait to see big-name manufacturers racing against each other!!!
Just AMAZING! Thx so much for making it! Just wish it was even longer 😅😅
#essereFerrari 🎉🎉🎉
this needs more views... such an amzing content
Le Mans is just special
This content is amazing for your sport keep it up❤
The centenary race turned out to be one of the most exciting of all the races held. Well done everyone. Already looking forward to race 101.
Wow, so much time given to LMP2s and GTEs... Amazing
Then u make a video about it. There’s 24 hours of footage for u out there
This is The Content We Love!
🏁🏆🏆⭐✌️
Greaaaaaattttttttt!!!!!! Can’t wait🎉🎉🎉
How did you manage to condense the race into 43mins... Bravo WEC.
31:00 that was i thinked all the time during 24h race. Endurance for the commentary team to.
6.29 yes Ben that room is VERY nice! And being trackside is wonderful. I was shooting as Media and had to drive 1h to my hotel, not the most convenient thought. And it did not had shower in the room.
#51's night spin in the gravel moment was oddly left out, but forza ferrari, what an insane race it was
This should be paid content, its so good
When Kobayashi greets the Ferrari drivers before the start, Vasseur grimaces as if to say "This one came here to bring bad luck"
43 minutes and like two shots of non-Hypercar classes. Was this a single class race, WEC?
