The 90th rendition of the world’s most famous 24-hour race proved to be another successful affair for Porsche.
The company’s fabled 911 RSR bowed out of competitive action at Le Mans with a 1st place finish in this year’s GTE-Pro class event. The number 91 car, driven by Gianmaria Bruni, Richard Lietz and Frédéric Makowiecki, took the chequered flag with just a 42-second lead, having covered a record 4,769 kilometres in the twice-round-the-clock event.
