LM24: Audi Win One of the Tightest Races in History

Audi felt the ups and downs of Le Mans but came out with the victory
The Audi team defended their last year’s Le Mans win by beating the best Peugeot by a mere 13 seconds after 24 hours of intense racing. When the Rolex clock at the finish line showed 15:00 the expected battle between Audi and Peugeot came to an end with the remaining Audi barely staying ahead of no less than four Peugeots. The winning margin of just over 13 seconds was one of the closest in recent history. The British Zytek-Nissan won in the LMP2 class, while Corvette won its seventh Le Mans GT title in the Pro category. The American manufacturer was also successful in the Amateur GT category.
