Who is this LeClerc?

An average so, so driver that won a charity contest to drive for Ferrari.

That might be Leclerc instead of LeClerc  Although presumably only people who don't really watch motorsports would call him an 'average so, so driver' without joking

The last race of the year in the IndyCar Series is about to start at.....Laguna Seca  Pretty much by far the best North American regular track and IndyCar is back there after 15 years  

 

They've got this weird system of double points for the season finale, which is a bit of a shame, but fine. Normally it shouldn't be terribly exciting in terms of the championship fight, Josef Newgarden has a significant advantage, but who knows

One of the world's more prestigious races (especially in single seaters) is getting underway in (literally) less than a minute.

But historically we have 1 winner of the category truck in 1980 , while the Quad is more used here
