Porsche added to its tally of victories in the Le Mans 24 Hours at only the second time of asking since its return to the pinnacle of sportscar racing last season.
Nico Hulkenberg, Nick Tandy and Earl Bamber led home a one-two for the Porsche 919 Hybrid on a day when the returning king of Le Mans had an edge on arch-rival Audi out on the racetrack, in the pits and in the reliability stakes.
