According to the drivers. The first two hours of the race were marked by precarious situations on the track. The pace was not very sustained. The problem was a track with a lack of grip.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab The first relay was difficult. The track had little grip, so I think most drivers struggled a bit. We also had more difficulty in the straight lines than the others. I think we made the right decision by letting me start, as we gained a few positions compared to the other teams that had to bring in their Bronze at the beginning of the rain. There is still a long way to go. We will continue this strategy, stay out of trouble, and see where we stand later,&#8221; confirms Tom van Rompuy, from Corvette #81.<\/p>\n<p>Also read: <a href=\"\/wec\/actualite\/33844-24-heures-mans-depart-sans-encombres.html\" title=\"Direct Le Mans\">Our live coverage of the 92nd edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The rain also made an appearance during this first part of the race. Only one part of the track was wet. A situation that complicated the teams&#8217; strategy.<\/p>\n<p>Other drivers complained about the Ferrari #50. According to S\u00e9bastien Bourdais and Charles Milesi, the prancing horse car was leaking oil. This did not help the driving conditions. During a pit stop, the Scuderia checked the issue by lifting the rear hood. But there was apparently no major problem. The team did not bring the car back to the garage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After two long hours of racing, the drivers finally had their say on how they felt on the track.
