1. Porsche No2 - B. Hartley, T. Bernhard, E. Bamber (LMP1).

2. Jackie Chan DC Racing No38 - H. Tung, O. Jarvis, T. Laurent (LMP2).

3. Vaillante Rebellion No13 - N. Piquet, M. Beche, D. Heinemeier Hansson (LMP2).

Drama all round!

Porsche 919 Car #1 was cruising to a comfortable victory before it fell to an oil pressure issue with less than 4 hours to go.

Hartley, Bernhard and Bamber in Porsche 919 car #2 clawed their way up the field from last place to take the chequered flag after a replacement front axle drive unit.

The victory gives the German manufacturer their third consecutive triumph at Le Mans, and the right to keep the Le Mans Trophy.
