This year's edition of the race at the famous circuit boasts an impressive list of 161 cars entered. Although the “monsters” of the GT3 class, at the head of the peloton, fight for the big prizes, it is the unique models that attract the attention of the public.

As early as 2021, a model Dacia Logan compete in this famous race. Ollis Garage Racing's SP 3T class car has become extremely popular with fans, mainly due to its unusual appearance, resembling a slow and cute shopping car.

Oliver Kriese, founder of Ollis Garage Racing, shares the wheel of the Dacia with Alexander Becker, Christian Geilfus and Robert Neumann.

The car has only 165 horsepower, a tiny value compared to the models it competes with, according to gpfans.com.

For this model, the 20.8 kilometer lap takes over 12 minutes, about 4 minutes longer than the Lamborghini, Ferrari or Mercedes models.

Although in practice the team received a 5-place grid penalty for an unauthorized U-turn on the track, they started the weekend in these conditions, much to the delight of the fans.

Max Verstappen, four-time world champion in Formula 1, also competes in this year's edition.

Dacia Logan is not really to everyone's liking

The Logan model is not at all popular with drivers in the fastest class, SP 9, due to the huge speed difference with the GT3 cars.

• During the night, at the 2023 edition, Laurin Heinrich crashed his Porsche into a Dacia at full speed, while Maximilian Weissermel was behind the wheel.

• Last year, Martin Kaffka was involved in an accident with an Aston Martin GT4 driven by Aris Balanian.
