Michelin Le Mans Cup – Team Virage Claims Championship in Rainy Finale Won by Nielsen Racing
The final round of the 2023 Michelin Le Mans Cup was played out on a very wet track with the race being red flagged early due to cars aquaplaning off the track in the heavy rain. The race was won by the no7 Nielsen Racing Ligier of Tony Wells and Josh Skelton, which meant that the no16 Team Virage Ligier of Julien Gerbi and Gillian Henrion secured the title. The no63 Iron Lynx Lamborghini Huracan won the GT3 class, finishing in 11th overall, with Hiroshi Hamaguchi and Vincent Abvil standing on the top step of the podium for the first time in 2023. The no10 Racing Spirit of Léman Aston Martin Vantage finished second to secure the team title, adding it to the LMP3 title they won in 2022, the first time a team has won back-to-back titles in different classes.
