With the running of the 24 Laps of Le Mans, the FRL arrives just past the mid-point of this tenth season of racing. A group of six drivers took the green flag to start the race. Though two of those drivers would not make the finish. Paul Maestri in the #7 Panasonic Porsche 911 would retire early due to driver illness. Travis Billingsley in the #18 Weather Tech Ferrari F50 would suffer a power issue and would retire on lap 13.
Tony Tyree would stick out the entire event, but his uniquely powered Porsche 911 would bring up the rear of the field. Seth Jensen, one of several rookies participating this season, showed much promise by leading the first lap of the race before settling back into third position. Ethan Maestri, in a Porsche, could not take the fight to the McLaren's on the long straights. Andrew Steppat cruised to a wide margin over the field and collected his fifth straight victory of the season, winning the 24 Laps of Le Mans. The series takes a short break before resuming at Silverstone on October 18th.
