The #9 Peugeot 908 HDi has just won the 77th running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. With the #8 Peugeot crossing the line in second, it was a quinella for the Peugeot team. The #1 R15 TDI from the defending Audi team finished third.
Spain’s Marc Gené drove the winning car across the finish line, completing the hard work of teammates David Brabham (Australia) and Alexander Wurz (Austria).
David Brabham’s win makes it a double success for the Brabham-Peugeot combination. David’s older brother Geoff, driving a Peugeot 905, won the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1993.
A complete list of Le Mans winners can be viewed at Wikipedia. Photos and driver quotes will be posted on AUSmotive tomorrow.
