#38 dominated the 2022 24 hours of Le Mans as the trio led the race during 354 laps of the 369 they ran during the two times around the clock race despite two times dying tires during the last six hours. It is Roberto Gonzalez’s and Antonio Felix Da Costa’s first victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, a nice revenge after their P2 in 2020. A second one for William Stevens after his first in LM GTE Am.
