We take a quick look at the championship position after the third race of the 2024 Michelin Le Mans Cup, the Road To Le Mans.
Two podium finishes in Le Mans has enabled COOL Racing (David Droux, Adrien Chila) to extend the championship lead. The no97 Ligier finished 3rd in Race 1 but secured second placed points due to the fact the winning car, the no22 WTM by Rinaldi Racing Duqueine, was not eligible for points.
