Hong Kong was represented by Antares Au and Jonathan Hui Kin-tak , with Au finishing sixth in the Le Mans Grand Touring 3 category and 39th overall in a Porsche 911 GT3 R, and Hui coming 14th in the same category, 47th overall, in a Ferrari 296 Victory by AF Corse's bright yellow 'privateer' Ferrari gave the Italian marque a third consecutive win in the world's most famous endurance race. For Ye, it helped to erase the pain of the 2021 race, when he, Kubica and Louis Deletraz led the Le Mans Prototype 2 category before their Team WRT Oreca suffered an engine failure on the final lap.

'It's going to take me some time to realise everything that's happened today. Right now I feel like I'm dreaming. Maybe in two seconds I'll wake up and none of this will exist.
