Inter Europol Competition Triumphs at Le Mans in a Grueling Battle for Victory

In a heart-pounding race filled with twists and turns, Inter Europol Competition emerged victorious at Le Mans, with Jakub Smiechowski describing the win as even more challenging than their previous triumph in 2023.

Facing a rollercoaster of a race, Smiechowski revealed, “It was a crazy race, obviously, for us, with highs and downs all the time.” Despite setbacks like a penalty for pit speed violation and time lost in pit stops due to a mistake, the team managed to stage a remarkable comeback. Smiechowski expressed, “Somehow it felt much more difficult to win this time than it did in 2023… it just felt harder.”

The intense competition was further highlighted by the relentless pressure from the #48 VDS car throughout the race. Unlike in 2023, where Inter Europol had moments of advantage, this year proved to be a fierce battle. Smiechowski added, “But this year, it was really, really hard competition.”

Celebrating the sweet taste of victory, Smiechowski shared, “It’s an amazing feeling, you know, to hear the national anthem again.” The team’s strategic decision to triple the tyre stints due to the scorching heat paid off, allowing them to push the limits without worrying about tyre management.

Tom Dillmann kickstarted Inter Europol’s journey from the second position, facing tough competition from VDS Panis Racing’s #48 Oreca, which stayed close behind throughout the race. The thrilling conclusion saw Yelloly reclaiming the lead from Esteban Masson of the #48 Oreca just moments before the finish line.

Inter Europol Competition’s monumental win at Le Mans showcases their unwavering determination and skill in overcoming obstacles to emerge victorious in one of the most prestigious races in the world.
