Porsche Takes LeMans



Porsche Wins LeMans

Nico Hulkenberg in the #19 Porsche 919 Hybrid has taken the German sportscar maker to victory over sister company Audi. The car was also driven by Earl Bamber and Nick Tandy.

Second place was claimed by the #17 Porsche 919 Hybrid of Brendon Hartley, Mark Webber, and Timo Bernhard.

Audi filled the third and fourth spots with its Audi R18 e-tron quattro and the third Porsche car took fifth.

Other notable finishes:

The top finishing LMP1 Toyota took sixth overall ahead of one of the Audis.

LMP2 was won by KCMG campaigning an Oreca Nissan.

Corvette Racing claimed first in LM GTE Pro.

SMP Racing in a Ferrari 458 Italia took the LM GTE Amateur win.

The only remaining front-wheel drive Nissan GT-R LM Nismo finished in 40th overall but was not classified as a finisher as it did not complete 70 percent of the distance covered by the lead Porsche.
