Looks like a Porsche 1 - 2 in the GTE Pro class(#92 RSR, and #91 RSR), and Porsche wins the GTE Am class also (#76 Imsa Performance) .

Good result! Save a thought for the Aston driver that unfortunately passed away though, RIP.

Great result to win both GT classes and looking forward to next year and an LMP1 win.

I found it hard to enjoy the race after the tragedy. R.I.P. Allan.

An incredibly sad start to a fascinating race, but a great way for Porsche to celibrate 50 years of the 911 and the ultimate swan song for that engine.

Very, very, sad race and our thoughts should be with his young family.

On a positive note... That Mezger engine is still the tops whatever you say and still ahead of the game...

Le Mans wins #99 and #100 for Porsche too. What a debut for the 991?! Just so sad that a driver lost his life in the race - and the same category.

Looks like Toyota have broken Audi's usual 1-2-3 in the LM-P1 class.

Can't wait for Porsche's return next year.

When I was at the track earlier this month, the Porsche marketing machine was in full force highlighting their pedigree and impending return next year.

Not really mate, I cannot believe Porsche won the race with such an engine performance deficit.

Its the chassis that's the star and the drivers. The engine was outclassed years ago.

Lot of talk about the teams demanding a DFI engine, so is think the Mezgers days are numbered.
