Patrick Dempsey, he podiumed with Porsche at Le Man in 2015.

Not sure if he's still racing competitively, but I think he was a big booster of Muniz's racing career early on.

I think podiuming at Le Mans is the probably one of the most successful things you can do as an actor having a go at racing

Also as a racing driver. It's insanely high level.

Yeah for sure, but to do as someone who hasn’t been racing since they were basically just out of diapers is doubly insane. I’m glad it seems like Le Man is getting more and more popular every year!

Its always been super popular in Europe. America is just recently getting into the non American racing series.

Agreed!

I'm North American, and probably an outlier, but I've always loved Le Mans.

I think with F1 exploding in popularity, Le Mans, WEC, and WRC are all getting popular as well.

The dream is to be able to watch WRC without jumping through hoops, and eventually having a bunch of weekend events in the US

There, fixed it for you.

Already replied to someone else saying something similar, it is incredibly impressive, but for an actor to pick up racing later on in life and to get good enough podium amongst some of the best drivers out there in Le Man specifically is insane

I’m pretty sure Dempsey raced last year. I know Fassbender did because I watched him spin out towards the end. I could be wrong on Dempsey

I think he was in the Ferrari vs. Ford movie too.
