The two finishes that showed the best of endurance racing

Obviously, a 24-hour race is never over until the chequered flag has fallen - and indeed, following the exclusion of class winners at Le Mans in each of the past two years, until technical inspections have been cleared - but very rarely is there anything of importance left on the table to fight for in the final hour.

Yes, it's true that reliability is better now than ever before, and drivers often do race flatout. But attrition resulting from mechanical issues and fatigue-driven mistakes has a knack of thinning out the fight at the front and leaving those who have survived at healthy intervals behind.
