Le Mans polesetter Dries Vanthoor on record-breaking lap, penalty drama, and BMW’s odds for victory

Motorsport: Dries, yesterday you officially set the fastest ever Hypercar lap at Le Mans, in 3m22.564s. Can you tell us about that lap, and what it was like from your perspective?

Dries Vanthoor: “It was a great day yesterday, obviously. I think the lap itself was pretty good. I can't do much better than that. I made a small mistake in the last chicane, which cost me a little bit. But other than that, the lap was good. I mean, I tried to go everywhere on the limit as much as I could and tried to make no mistakes, which worked well. And yeah, obviously super happy.”
