The No. 2 Porsche 919 Hybrid of Romain Dumas, Neel Jani and Marc Lieb took the checkered flag first in front of some 263,000 spectators that flocked to the otherwise sleepy city of Le Mans on the Sarthe River, France. The team registered an incredible 5,233 kilometers – 384 laps on the storied Circuit de la Sarthe, which contains a mix of closed public roads and a specialist racing circuit. Interestingly, it was the same trio that notched the maiden conquest for the 900-horsepower Porsche prototype in 2014 in Brazil.
In achieving the Le Mans win, the 919 averaged a speed of 216.4 kilometers per hour – considering that for 57 laps, the safety car was out, which limited speed to as little as 80 kph for safety reasons.
