The irony here is ESM rode the Honda to a 24hr win and will most likely dump the Honda engines when they go back to the WEC and switch to Nissan power.

Like I said, the talent in that class has gone to hell as the years have gone on. That team, assuming Core Autosport falls off the wagon and doesn't give them a hard time, could easily take the championship.
As Hindhaugh said of that team at one point, "1 car, lightly used, 3 caring owners and one who didn't care as much." If it wasn't for CORE losing an engine so early in the race, it may have been a battle in that class.
At one point they had racked up almost 20 laps over the rest of the class.

Not a pretty exit for the DP's last Rolex 24. To be fair that could happen to any closed cockpit car no?
