SYDNEY, May 16 (Reuters) - Armed forces were protecting New Caledonia’s two airports and port after a third night of violent riots that have killed four people, the Pacific Island’s top French official said on Thursday morning, adding at least four alleged instigators were under house arrest....

This ranking is a bit wild. For instance, Catsburg at 49 definitely deserves a top 20 and I’d argue top 10. Clearly biased toward the single seaters and top car classes even when the driver (that’s what this list is about, right?) can’t match the kind of accomplishments on the year.

I’ll put an attempted common sense definition out there as a straw man (fully aware of Cunningham’s law): it’s a rifle typically featuring a pistol grip and detachable magazine.
The definition needs to be intentionally vague to capture a myriad of existing designs (and the legal workarounds). I suspect there are “assault rifles” that don’t fit into this vague definition, and equally importantly: vice versa (e.g. the Barret 82A1 can’t realistically be considered an “assault rifle” by common sense).
And therein lies the problem: by being only reasonably specific, we provide too many opportunities for shenanigans (cf. Formula 1 in the 70s and 80s). But without a reasonably strict definition, we’re also creating a reasonably litigious atmosphere (“no sir, we intended this rifle for small to medium game hunting”).

2024 is going to be a banner year in the top class, with a bunch of new cars, plus the new LMGT3 spec for the bottom class bringing in new manufacturers. And with 8 rounds now, you’ll have a terrible (great) time keeping up. And if you’re a week or so behind, just watch the full races online (youtube) for free.
And if you can’t get enough endurance racing, IMSA is shaping up to be a ton of fun next year too.
