Audi wins world's biggest car race
The R10 TDI Audi from Audi defeated Peugeot's LMP1 car by 13.9 seconds. It became the first diesel-powered car ever to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Peugeot's LMP1 winning car in 2009 won the race, but it was not able to repeat its victory in 2010. In 2011, the R15+ Audi car from Audi won the race. This was the same number of victories as the Italian carmaker and also broke the record for the longest distance.
Audi Sport Team Land
Audi Sport Team Land began in seventh place but fought hard to finish on the podium at the largest motorsport event. Last year's Audi winner, Kelvin van der Linde, battled hard for third but crashed into the guard rail on the Hohe Acht section of the track. He lost three laps due to this, while his brother Sheldon finished fourth. Kelvin van de Linde was not the only one on the team. Rene Rast (Christopher Haase) and Kelvin von der Linde also joined him.
Mercedes-AMG
Mercedes-AMG now has a F1 driver in George Russell. The 20-year-old is an alumnus of the Mercedes-AMG Junior program. He will make his debut in Mercedes-AMG's works team. The team has been prepping for the race since last year. Russell won the Pirelli GT4 championship last year. He will be sharing the car this year with Kenny Murillo.
Porsche
Porsche won its first Le Mans races a year after winning the 911 GT3 Cup. The team's first car was an all-new design that had undergone three-quarters of a million dollars in investment. The car finished the 24 hour race at 138.1mph and covered more that three thousand miles. The car's drivers broke two world records and received the prestigious Index of Performance award for lowest fuel consumption relative to its engine size.
Alfa Romeo
The setting for the largest auto race in the world is perfect for an Italian marque, which has been making waves in the automotive racing world for many decades. In 1950, Alfa Romeo was a one-car team in the first Formula 1 Grand Prix, staged on the time-honoured Silverstone circuit in Great Britain. Although the competition is now much more complex, Alfa Romeo has always been at the start line. It was there too when the World's most famous car race began.
Toyota
The World Challenge Fuji 200 Mile Race, which attracted both Canadian and American drivers, was one of Japan's most important sports car races in the late 1960s. The event, which took place in November, was an invitational event featuring the top drivers from each country's motorsports circuit. Toyota accepted the challenge each and every year. The 415S did not compete with the Japanese top dog but the 474S proved itself to be a highly competitive machine.
