Le Mans Classic 2023

Le Mans Classic 2023, for me, was capturing the emotion of the return by Dominic Dobson and the Porsche 962 after 24 years.

Dominic originally raced the same car (Chassis #143) at Le Mans in 1989, alongside Jean Alesi and Will Hoy. 1989 ended in disaster as the car exploded and Dominic was lucky to get out alive. So coming back to race at Le Mans Classic in the same car, was full of emotion and memories.
