The 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans for JMW Motorsport (LMGTE Am)

43 teams (fielding 61 cars) competed in the 87th 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Super Finale of the FIA WEC 2018-19 World Endurance Championship. There were winners, of course, but also mechanical glitches, track incidents and early retirements. Joy for some, disappointment for others... Here’s a summary of the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the JMW Motorsport team, which ran in the LMGTE Am class.

TEAM: JMW Motorsport

Class: LMGTE Am

Car: Ferrari 488 GTE

Drivers:

  • Jeffrey Segal (4th participation)
  • Rodrigo Baptista (1st participation)
  • Wei Lu (1st participation)

This year, JMW Motorsport took the start in its 10th 24 Hours of Le Mans. The British team qualified in 49th position with a time of 3:52.423 clocked by Jeffrey Segal during the third session. In the race, a brief detour into the gravel trap at the Michelin chicane on Saturday at 23:33 was the only hiccup for the #84 Ferrari 488 GTE. The car finished 32nd overall and second in LMGTE Am class. JMW Motorsport claimed the top step on the LMGTE Am podium at the 2017 24 Hours of Le Mans.
