No. 1 R15 was looking to be in a strong position, but after a 10-minute stop in the pits, the Audi was seven laps behind the No. 9 Peugeot. We do hope that you did not miss the action; we did offer you a reminder on Saturday, giving you details of the 24 Hours of Le Mans Schedule and Live Stream.

Having a great result is not always about winning, take the 007 Lola Aston Martin, this managed to finish in fourth place. If you had a chance to watch the coverage, how did you feel about the race, and did Peugeot disserve to come 1st and 2nd?

    Congratulations, Peugeot, you finally did it! Their speed was amazing, and they were able to ‘coast’ the last few hours as well after Audi #1 had its last problem. So I’m curious if Peugeot could have pushed it even harder if it needed to. They showed that they could lap at 3.22 in quali, and 3.24 in race pace, but it appeared they didn’t need more than their typical 3.25/3.26s to win the race. Again, well done Lions!
