'Not too bad for past-prime Estre, 80 year old Lotterer and 2nd best Vanthoor brother'

That worked out even better with the driver's championship. Sad that Lotterer is leaving Porsche

'past-prime' Estre is still a good endurance racer

Bloody good, but I feel like you didn't get the joke or did you?

That's a joke from early this year, estre is still one of the fastest out there, check his le mans pole lap, man was on absolute edge with that car. Not to even mention his nurbugring performances, but you probably saw those already anyway.

I used to think le mans ultimate's 963 is flawed because it is very loose at the rear on la sarthe, but it was a skill issue all along.
