2023 marks the 100th anniversary of the legendary 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance race and what better way to celebrate the centennial running of the said endurance race than igniting the most intense Le Mans battle in history. With Porsche, Ferrari, and Cadillac joining in the Hypercar fray in the hopes of dethroning the defending winner, Toyota, this centennial running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans is the trending topic in the motorsports world.
With 62 cars lined up for the centennial anniversary of Le Mans, including a special appearance of the NASCAR Garage 56 Camaro ZL1 stock car made to commemorate NASCAR's 75th anniversary, this ultimate endurance race is nothing short of being historical and legendary at the same time.

Toyota's hopes for a three-peat in a GR010 ended in a heartbreaking failure with the #7 breaking down and the #8 colliding with the Arnage barrier as it struggled to chase the lead, it's no surprise that Ferrari made history in the centennial running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans race as the #51 Ferrari AF Corse 499P made a historical win while the #34 Inter Europol Competition wins the LMP2 class and the #33 Corvette Racing C8.R for the GTE-AM class.
The NASCAR Garage 56 Camaro ZL1 stock car finished 39th overall. Still, its mission was complete for the NASCAR Garage 56 project as the stock car managed to survive the whole day in order to show the world that NASCAR means business to the motorsports world, even at Le Mans.
Toyota may have suffered a bitter defeat by Ferrari at Le Mans but the 11th season of the FIA World Endurance Championship continues with the 6 Hours of Monza this July 9th.
