Another interesting stat: Lucas Luhr is, tied with Allan McNish, the driver who's won the most races ever in an LMP1 car, with 24 (counting from 2004, where the most long standing version of LMP1 was introduced to replace LMP900).
Thanks to watching the ALMS in the 2010's I'll never forget Lucas. I remember him as a such a solid driver and good in all areas it seemed. Him and Klaus Graf in that Muscle Milk Pickett Racing HPD LMP1 car, so good. That being said, I hardly knew anything of Lucas' racing career before then. So that's cool to see! Great vid!
I met Lucas at the 2013 running of the Baltimore GP while he was competing for Muscle Milk Pickett Racing. Really nice guy, signed the helmet I brought along with me that weekend. They wrapped up the championship that weekend too. They got extremely lucky that the opening lap mega crash happened behind them. Was a very chaotic race to say the least. Lucas' stint in the car won them the race from essentially the back of the pack since they pitted under a caution that nobody else went in for. Very memorable hour of green flag racing.
Lucas Luhr is indeed the last German national to race in Indycar as of today. Quite the oddball, considereing there's a lot of talented Germans who either don't have the budget for F1 or had their Formula One career fizzle out unceremoniously, who could easily be an Indycar star. I'm talking about Nick Heidfeld, Max Günther, Pascal Wehrlein, Adrian Sutil, Mick Schumacher, Tim Tramnitz and plenty more.
i dont like shane van Gisbergen but can you talk about how crazy it was that a guy who races v8 supercars was able to come over here in his first nascar cup series start on a street course that he hadnt seen and the other drivers hadnt seen (it was the first chicago street race) and actaully managed to beat every single nascar driver in the field to win his first cup start
Luhr being the most decorated driver in ALMS history with success in multiple categories was something that was talked about when the ALMS was still around, but not so much sense then. I forgot about his IndyCar start, and I don't even think I ever heard about his arrest until now. As far as scandals go, drunkenly taking a piss in public is pretty forgivable, I guess, but still, indecent exposure probably means he's on a sex offender registry somewhere, which is kind of funny to think about.
Tbf tho, there was literally only 2 teams/cars contesting the 2013 alms p1 championship. So 1st doesnt really mean that much lol. Normally 2nd would be good but in that case, dyson finished 2nd and last lol.
Your pronounciation of "Mühlheim-Kärlich" wasn't too bad actually. Only the "ä" is pronounced more like "ae" but other than that, pretty solid for someone who doesn't speak German.
They will return, but I'm working on a few things to try and make them a bit better. I won't go into what those things are of course, but sorry for the long delay there has been since an episode.
Babe wake up TyDye just drop a video
Go back to sleep, it’s not Street Track Failures.

Him winning all these and then working at a dealership is criminal
One of the best and more underrated sports car racers of our time. Thanks for this video, was a fantastic trip down memory lane!
I watched him race at Road America and Atlanta when he was at Muscle Milk. Great driver.

Frikadelli Racing translates to Meatball Racing.
Good to see a new video from you!
That's something I learned today. I remember eating Swedish meatballs with a can of Früh Koslch when I watched them win the Nurburgring 24hr in 2023!

That Porsche RS spyder was such a good looking car, especially in the Penske DHL livery 😍
Lucas Luhr is such a fast experienced driver and he is very down to earth guy. Had the opportunity to talk to him. Great guy
He’s back!!!
King is back
Lucas is one of my favorite motorsport personalities, as a german I may be biased tho.
Had a fantastic career and I respect him massively

Lucas is my favorite endurance driver of all time 🔥
