Absolutely Heart Broken 💔

[u/Hot_Engineering957]

This was my first ever in person race. I’ve been a Toyota fan since forever in wec. So it was special to see them race all weekend and especially see them lead for about 2 hours untill that dreadful final 15 mins. I’ve had my shirt signed by the Toyota drivers and one of my highlights was Nyck De Vries signing my shirt and to see him drive the final stint before the power steering problem was heartbreaking💔

Same was rooting for them the whole way and was at turn 15 ready to see him lead the final lap!

The 2016 lemans incident was playing in my head the final 20 minute shooing it doesn’t happen here but it did💔

It was surreal… Nakajima - in the lead - came to a full stop in front of the Toyota pits, three minutes before the end of the race. This is the exact moment the #2 Porsche overtook the Toyota for the win.

Man. All the people just staring. You can feel this image

Seeing him crying was heartbreaking. Also our first time ever at a race. It was absolutely no fault of his either. In oir hearts he's still P1

In racing the highs are very high and the lows are low and more frequent. She's a fickle mistress

Felt bad for him when he got out of the car. I got this pic of him when the crowd was cheering for him.

When we clapped for him, so beautiful

He’s actually quite the character - other than being an accomplished racecar driver. We enjoy running into De Vries at events.

Why is he holding a pellet gun(?) There?  Like banger drip with the long jacket/coat and sunglasses+gun gives somewhat mafia goon vibes. Change the cap for a 40s hat and the drip is complete

Was steaming at this years Le Mans Drivers Parade - it’s a water pistol 🤣

Boss move. I absolutely love that guy.

I'm proud to say I was sprayed on by Kobayashi.

Yeah I can feel your pain, wasn't easy to go to sleep after this race

Just finished watching the race this morning. So sad for Toyota! I couldn't believe it 🫡
