Circuit de la Sarthe track

The 4th Road to Le Mans was an automobile endurance event that took place on 13 and 15 June 2019, ^[1] at the Circuit de la Sarthe, Le Mans, France. The race featured LMP3 and GT3 category cars competing in their respective classes.

Background

The Automobile Club de l'Ouest (ACO) organised the 2019 Road to Le Mans for Le Mans Prototype 3 (LMP3) and Group GT3 (GT3) cars along with the Michelin Le Mans Cup promoter Le Mans Endurance Management. It took place at the 13.626 km (8.467 mi) Circuit de la Sarthe, near Le Mans, France on 13 and 15 June 2019. This was the fourth running of the race, the third round in the 2019 Le Mans Cup and it served as a support event for the 2019 24 Hours of Le Mans. ^{[2] [3]}

Michael Benham and Duncan Tappy led the LMP3 Drivers' Championship with 50 championship points following victories at Paul Ricard and Monza. They were 13 championship points ahead of the second-placed Laurents Hörr and François Kirmann and 20 in front of Colin Noble and Anthony Wells in third. ^[4] Sergio Pianezzola and Giacomo Piccini led the GT3 Drivers' Championship with 44 championship points and one class victory, three ahead of the second-placed Fabien Lavergne and Mikkel Mac. ^[5] The No. 25 Lanan Racing team led the LMP3 Teams' Championship with 50 championship points, leading the No. 3 DKR Engineering squad by 13 championship points. ^[6] With 44 championship points, the No. 8 Kessel Racing team led the LMP3 Teams' Championship by three championship points over the No. 71 Luzich Racing squad. ^[7]

Regulations and entrants

Entry to the race was open from 11 March to 4 April 2019 and a maximum of 50 cars could participate. ^[8] A selection committee invited all current Le Mans Cup entrants and selected one-off entries to the race. Teams competing in Le Mans-based endurance racing series such as the Asian Le Mans Series (ALMS), the Asian Le Mans Sprint Cup, the European Le Mans Series (ELMS) and the IMSA SportsCar Championship got priority in receiving invitations. ^{[2] [8]} Each car was piloted by two drivers and each team had to sign a Bronze-rated driver and either a second Bronze-rated or a Silver or Gold-rated racer. A driver was permitted no more than at least 20 minutes to drive on the track and the race regulations dictated a change of driver during the mandatory pit stops. ^[8] According to the race's regulations, all teams had to make a mandatory pit stop lasting no less than two minutes between the 22nd and 32nd minutes of both races. All full-time Le Mans Cup competitors in both classes were eligible to score championship points provided they finished anywhere from first and below. The two pole position winners for each of the two races in each class received one championship point. ^[8]

The entry list was published by the ACO on 23 April 2019. ^[9] The 50-car entry list included 33 LMP3 and 17 GT3 vehicles. ^[1] In addition to the 34 guaranteed Le Mans Cup entries, there were 11 ELMS entries, one each from the ALMS and the FIA World Endurance Championship while the rest of the field was filled with one-off entries only competing at Le Mans. ^{[2] [10]} There were two manufacturers represented in the LMP3 and they were Ligier and Norma with Adess and Ginetta cars absent. ^[9] There were six manufacturers (Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Mercedes-Benz and Porsche) who were represented in the GT3 category. ^[9] Ferrari was the most represented manufacturer in GT3 with nine cars while Lamborghini and Porsche were represented by just one team each. ^[1] A crew of three disabled drivers sharing a modified Ligier JS P3-Nissan was entered by Filière Frédéric Sausset by SRT41 as preparation for a potential future entry to the 2020 24 Hours of Le Mans. ^{[11] [12]} Pianezzola was the only driver and Graff, Inter Europol Competition, Kessel Racing, RLR Msport, Spirit of Race, TF Sport and United Autosports were the seven teams to participate in both the Road to Le Mans and the 24 Hours of Le Mans. ^{[13] [14]} There were four entries that were listed as reserves. ^[9]

Practice

Two one-hour practice sessions were held on the evening of 12 June and the morning of 13 June. ^[8] Noble set the fastest time of the first practice session with a lap of 3:54.896 done in the No. 2 Nielsen Racing Norma M30 car. The No. 24 United Autosports Ligier entry driven by Wayne Boyd was second, ahead of Hörr's No. 3 DKR Norma vehicle. The session was temporarily stopped when the No. 74 Cool Racing Ligier went off the circuit and crashed into the wall. ^[15] Mac aboard the No. 71 Luzich Ferrari lapped fastest in the GT3 class with a time of 3:58.083 that was good enough for sixth overall. Valentin Pierburg in the No. 40 SPS Automotive Performance Mercedes was second-quickest. The No. 95 Bentley Team Africa Le Mans car stopped on the circuit, necessitating a short Slow Zone period for its recovery. ^[15]

The circuit was declared wet for the beginning of the second practice session and rain fell on Le Mans to create a slippery surface for drivers and squads. ^[16] Matt Bell was the pace setter in the No. 22 United Autosports Ligier car with a lap time of 4:00.120, more than five seconds slower than the previous day's pace. Bell was almost a second faster than Benham's No. 25 Lanan entry in second. ^[16] Pianezzola led the GT3 category with a 4:09.140 lap set in the No. 8 Kessel Ferrari and was fast enough for sixth overall. Flick Haigh's No. 97 TF Aston Martin was 0.120 seconds slower in second. ^[16]

Qualifying

There were two 20-minute qualifying sessions held on the afternoon of 13 June to set the starting order for both races. The first session saw any one driver be allowed by their teams to participate and determine the starting grid for the first race. Each team's Bronze-rated driver partook in the second session to set the starting order for the second race. ^[8]
