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 MR Racing team, which ran in the LMGTE Am class.

Class: LMGTE Am

Car: Ferrari 488 GTE

Drivers:

  • Motoaki Ishikawa (2nd participation)

This year, MR Racing took the start in its second 24 Hours of Le Mans. The Japanese team qualified in 59th position with a time of 3:54.051 clocked by Eddie Cheever, III during the third session.
