Audi wins dramatic Le Mans classic

Benoit Treluyer, Andre Lotterer and Marcel Fassler won the 2011 Le Mans 24 Hours at a very necessary gallop for Audi, hounded throughout by Peugeot rivals that had to stop less often. The #9 908 of Simon Pagenaud, Sebastien Bourdais and Pedro Lamy crossed the line 13.854s behind the Audi, and had the R18's drivers not gone flat out throughout to make up for their car's marginal deficit in range this race could easily have gone the other way. For fans of statistics, this is the fourth closest Le Mans finish of all time, all will certainly go down as one of the classics.
