PETER MASON writes about the exhilarating race which kicks off in France this weekend, and the British drivers competing across three categories
Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi
BRITISH drivers will be to the fore at this weekend’s 24 Hours of Le Mans race in France, with 22 UK-based competitors appearing across all three categories.
In the main hypercar division 11 British drivers will compete in nine different cars tomorrow and on Sunday – among them James Calado, who won last year in conjunction with two Italian co-drivers, Antonio Giovinazzi and Alessandro Pier Guidi.
Calado goes again with the same pair in the same Ferrari 499P, aiming to show they have finally put an end to the recent dominance of Toyota, who prior to 2023 had won the race five times in succession.
