The 2016 round at Spa-Francorchamps absolutely lived up to its name. This was Le Mans in miniature, and it gets no better. It was an old-school, attrition endurance race of the finest order. By the halfway point all three LMP1 manufacturers only had one bullet in the chamber, so to speak. So many cars broke in LMP1 that a Porsche 919 missing the "Hybrid" piece of its namesake still took second place overall. A podium finish with a dead 400-horsepower "go fast" button on a track where stretching your legs really counts. There are 6 factory-backed cars making 1,000 horsepower, yet a privateer car (Rebellion Racing) with half the horsepower and a fraction of the budget made it to the podium on merit, not by virtue of a technical infraction. There were also heavy crashes, untested drivers getting caught out everywhere, but who can fault them? Your favorite driver's favorite driver has probably wiped out at Raidillon or run right through the bus stop.
