Lamy and Sarrazin win for Peugeot
Peugeot won their second Le Mans Series race in a row, romping home as expected in the Valencia 1000kms
The 908 had a comfortable pace advantage in Spain and the diesel cars disappeared into the dust.
They even staged a race of their own, battling each other until a clutch problem forced the Marc Gene/Nicolas Minassian car out of the race.
This left the Pedro Lamy/Stephane Sarrazin car free to take an easy win.
The new Zytek put up a fight, but engine problems curtailed its progress. This left the Charouz Lola of Jan Charouz, Alex Yoong and Stefan Mucke to take second.
LMP2 honours went to the ASM Lola despite at least three spins. They came home ahead of the Radical of Tim Greaves, Stuart Moseley and Robin Liddell.
The Soheil Ayari/Stephane Ortelli Saleen was untouchable in GT1, but the GT2 fight went down to the wire, with the Marc Lieb/XavierPompidou Porsche coming out on top.
