The 79th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans - LIVE Race Info.

Here's the set up - with about 35 minutes left, the two leading cars of Audi R18 TDI Diesel driven by Lotterer and Peugeot 908 Diesel driven by Pagenaud came in for their last pit stop. Both took on their last fuel in 34 seconds but Audi took on a new set of tires. They left the pits with only about 10 seconds separating the two cars. After nearly 14 minutes on the track and about 15 minutes left in the race, the gap as see-sawed down to as little as 8 seconds up to 12 seconds. The last lap, however, the Audi has gained 5 seconds with 10 minutes (three laps) left at 17 seconds ahead.

WOW - Audi crosses the line with a 13.854 second margin over Peugeot in the closest contested finish since 1969! What an epic Le Mans race which saw leading cars crash, two of three Audi cars destroyed with the drivers walking away, a Corvette and a Flying Lizard Porsche colliding on the track not far from the start/finish line (when has that ever happened? - Mazda Raceway 2009!), and we believe the first ever husband and wife team to compete and rise to the podium (3rd place for the Robertson's Ford GT - Doran in the GTEAm Class - first female was in 1931).
