A record crowd of over 250,000 fans came to the Circuit de la Sarthe in northwestern France for the 75th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. This year"s race provided the spectators with plenty of excitement as perennial powerhouse teams and drivers battled rivals both old and new, along with ever-changing weather conditions to make the world"s greatest endurance race even more of a challenge.Audi Sport"s teams looked to be a sure thing to dominate the race in their diesel engine R10s. However, the teams from Peugeot had other ideas, as they secured the pole position in the No. 8 Team Peugeot Total car driven by Sébastien Bourdais, Pedro Lamy and Stéphane Sarrazin. Throughout the race, both teams would see their entries depleted due to mechanical problems, the poor conditions, and bad racing luck, leaving both Audi and Peugeot with one car at the finish. But it was the #1 Audi Sport North America car driven by Frank Biela, Emanuele Pirro and Marco Werner that would give the German marque its 7th Le Mans victory, with the No. 8 Team Peugeot Total car in second, followed by the always competitive Pescarolo Sport Team in third, putting them on the podium for the third consecutive year.The LM P2 class was truly fighting a battle of attrition, as only two cars from that category finished the race, with the No. 31 Binnie Motorsports Lola-Zytek defeating the No. 33 Barazi Epsilon 07S/2.In their third attempt since coming back to Le Mans in 2005, Aston Martin, with the help of Prodrive, took the LM GT1 honors away from Corvette, as David Brabham, Rickard Rydell and Darren Turner piloted the DBR9 to victory in the class and fifth place overall. In LM GT2, it was Porsche who returned to its winning ways in defeating the Ferraris.This official review includes coverage of test day and final qualifying, on-board laps with Audi"s Rinaldo Capello and Peugeot s Nicolas Minassian, and an interview with winners Werner, Pirro, and Biela.
