\"Audi_1\"<\/a> Even if the Audi R8s were not the fastest cars on a lap \u2013 they were compelled to carry ballast and reduce their power\u2013  , one of those engaged by American Champion Racing team won the race thanks to their consistency. Bearing in mind the Pescarolos were quicker, they paid great attention to reliability and the pilots did the rest, committing no fault. Champion Racing team drivers Kristensen, Werner and Lehto led the Audi R8 number 3 to victory. It\u2019s the seventh for Danish Tom Kristensen, who thus surpassed Jacky Ickx.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

World Rally Champion S\u00e9bastien Loeb was on the Pescarolo<\/a> number 17, but a flat tyre on hour 20 caused the car to crash, preventing it from finishing the race. The Pescarolo number 16, driven by Collard, Bouillon and Collard, was on pole position but the, after 2 hours, the gearbox broke down, forcing it to stop for 30 minutes. Despite a fantastic recovery during the night, the three French pilots were not able to make up for their lost time, staying behind 2 Audis, because of a coolant leak. The Audi that was second crashed, allowing the French team to finish on second position, ahead of 2 other Audis, respectively driven by Champion Racing team pilots Pirro, Biela and McNish and by Oreca<\/a> team pilots Montagny, Ortelli and Gounon.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
