Petit Le Mans 2025 - My Trackside Highlights

After a month since Petit Le Mans, Ive finally finished this video. By far the longest thing I've ever released, but its a nice dump of footage from the 2025 Petit Le Mans weekend if people want to skim through and see different parts of the IMSA fan experience.

After an eventful 10 hours, the #31 Whelen Cadillac Racing car driven by Jack Aitken, Earl Bamber, and Frederik Vesti took a commanding victory after an early battle with the pole sitting #60 Meyer Shank Racing Acura ARX-06 driven by Tom Blomqvist, Colin Braun, and Scott Dixon. The #23 Aston Martin Valkyrie and the #63 Lamborghini SC63 went on a late race charge in the night, with the Valkyrie takings its maiden podium in 2nd place, and both the Valkyrie and SC63 being in late competition for the overall win, with the latter competing in its final ever race after withdrawing from the WEC this year, and not racing in either WEC or IMSA for 2026.

The #6 Porsche Penske Motorsports 963 driven by Matt Campbell and Mathieu Jaminet took the GTP championship at Petit Le Mans, with #23 Paul Miller Racing BMW M4 GT3 EVO winning in GTD Pro, #21 AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 winning in GTD, and #11 TDS Racing Oreca 07 winning in LMP2.

The race was fantastic, and one of my best experiences at any racing circuit/event. I hope to travel back to the USA one day and visit another IMSA round.
