Spa 24 Hours, by the numbers. 📊 25%. 72 laps. 27 stops. 68%. 2:17.340. 541 laps. 13.721 seconds. 0.218. 1440 minutes. All numbers that contributed to an excellent 24 hour race deep in the heart of the Ardennes forest. 🇧🇪 🧵 1/3

Filthy race cars are the best race cars. With 24 hour races pretty much the longest races in global motorsport, this is as filthy as a race car will get. Enjoy these images from Spa after the 24 hours! 📸 All images: SRO

The win at Spa 24 Hours marks Thomas Preining's first ever 24 hour race victory. What a race to do it at, after the #80 Lionspeed GP Porsche, which he shares with Bastian Buus and Ricardo Feller, started from the pitlane after a pre-race engine change.

It's Spa 24 Hours week! It's the biggest GT3 race of the year. 70 cars, 10 manufacturers. 24 hours of the Ardennes forest. What could be better?! Here are 5 storylines we're watching all weekend 🧵👇

We've just posted our Le Mans lead analysis on our new Instagram account. 47 lead changes, 5 cars, 3 teams. Follow @on.theapex on Instagram for more data-driven endurance racing coverage. 🏁 www.instagram.com/on.theapex/

JOTA Cadillac led 48.3% of Le Mans this past weekend. Yet they only finished fourth. What happened? www.ontheapex.com/le-mans-2026...

Conway, plus long-time teammate Kamui Kobayashi, took his second win at Le Mans. Nyck de Vries took his first. Imagine the nerves! 😬 #LM24 #LeMans

Full lap chart for the Hypercars 👇

Seb Bourdais has been trying to win Le Mans for 27 years and 18 attempts. This was the 19th attempt. Unfortunately he'll need a 20th attempt to win the race he grew up watching from the spectator areas.

Could we see Le Mans's first LMDh winner at 4pm on Sunday? It certainly looks possible. The LMDh teams have been quick al week, with Cadillac in particular standing out. Read more from me 👉 www.ontheapex.com/le-mans-prac...

Jack Aitken had an enjoyable 20 minutes while he held pole... but it was swiftly deleted for moving into the fast lane too early. #LM24 #LeMans

Ben Keating has been consistent on his preference of LMGTE over LMGT3 in WEC and at Le Mans. Why? 3 things: 1) ABS took his differentiator away 2) The GT3 tyres are not as good as the GTE tyres 3) GTE setups could be adjusted on the fly, per driver #LM24 #LeMans

The main aim in Wednesday qualifying at Le Mans is to advance to Hyperpole, but no racing driver would say no to a fast time as well... Do Cadillac have the pace to win? 🇺🇸

Test showed there's no clear favourite for Le Mans 2026. Read about our thoughts on BMW's Spa pace, hidden BoP, test day, and major upgrades to almost every car. 👉 www.ontheapex.com/le-mans-2026...

Genesis's first day at Le Mans was a success according to Pipo Derani 🇰🇷 Their fastest lap across both cars at yesterday's test session was a 3:27.990, as the team gets to grips with the unique characteristics of Circuit de la Sarthe.

20% best laps average from Le Mans test day. Toyota's heavily revised car paying dividends so far... 👀 #LM24 #LeMans

What's the Valkyrie like at Le Mans compared to last year? Very different, and more enjoyable, #007 driver Tom Gamble says. He topped the test day time sheets with a 3:26.293. 🏁 #LM24 #LeMans

Some quick data from the morning test day session at Le Mans. LMDh teams looking strong but Toyota also up there. #LM24 #LeMans

Le Mans native Sébastien Bourdais has made 18 starts at the world's greatest endurance race across 27 years. He's hopeful 2026 could finally bring overall victory. #LM24 #LeMans

Could a cost cap be used instead of Balance of Performance in the future in endurance racing? Maybe, maybe not. Toyota's David Floury sees issues with the approach. Read more in the latest @ontheapex.com article on the 2030 Hypercar/GTP regulations 👉 www.ontheapex.com/2030-hyperca...

How did the #31 Action Express Cadillac take the victory at Detroit? Pretty easily as it turns out. Jack Aitken & Earl Bamber controlled the race. They pitted earlier than some rivals; the #25 BMW and #6 Porsche proved the overcut was the best strategy. But the #31 still prevailed on the streets.

"...a tremendous achievement for our motorsports, design and engineering teams. Congratulations to Whelen Cadillac and Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports teams on hard-earned victories at our home race.” 🧵 1/2 📸 Kevin Dejewski @kevindmotors.bsky.social

"We had a good strategy and a good pit stop. It really doesn't get a lot better than that. So, we're going to soak in in baby.” 📸 Kevin Dejewski @kevindmotors.bsky.social

Jack Aitken on taking the win in General Motors' hometown: “To do it here at the home of GM and Cadillac, with so many friends and family with us. My team absolutely nailed it. All of Whelen Cadillac, they put in an awesome lap (yesterday)." 📸 Kevin Dejewski @kevindmotors.bsky.social

On avoiding the inevitable chaos in the race: "Run away and hide at the front! There’s so much that can happen. We have a great team in the pit lane, they never lose a spot in pit lane touch wood. It’s great for Cadillac, GM and the Corvettes on the front row as well.” 📸 @kevindmotors.bsky.social

Bamber on his pole position in Detroit: "The car has been amazing. We had a great car last year too. Did some good sim work. This 31 Cadillac Whelen team has done some amazing stuff. When they give you a great Cadillac, it makes your job easier. Can’t wait for it.” 📸 Kevin Dejewski
