There is no denying the 2022 edition of the Le Mans 24 hours was hardly a classic. On the 90th running of the great race, it was again a contest of pure reliability in the top class. If the Toyotas ran well, they would finish first and second. They did. If Glickenhaus ran well, its cars would come third and fourth. They did. If Alpine ran well, it would be fifth in class. It was.
That’s pretty much what happened, except that one driving mistake lost Glickenhaus time, like a good race, with plenty of nose-to-tail action, but this was a 24-hour race, not a 10-lap sprint.
