Porsche's #17 trio clinched the 2015 World Endurance Championship drivers' title in dramatic fashion after an intense battle with Audi over the course of the season.

It marked a clean sweep of titles for the German marque in an incredible second season back at the top level of endurance racing, one in which the 919 Hybrid proved to be an ominous LMP1 benchmark.

Gary Watkins has, for reasons best known to himself, devoted all his working life to covering sportscar racing. This season is his 33rd as a motorsport journalist, during which time he has reported on major long-distance events on four continents and approaching 80 24-hour races. He reckons a degree in political philosophy makes him well qualified for covering the sometimes Machiavellian world of international sportscars.

Gary, who also writes for Motor Sport, Autocourse, RACER and others, lives in Surbiton close to the former workshops of the Cooper Formula 1 team but spends more time on the road than at home for most of the year.
