Porsche drivers Timo Bernhard, Earl Bamber and Brendon Hartley took the title after all six LMP1 cars encountered issues during the race. The #2 Porsche crew, in an incident-filled race, claimed the lead only in the final hour, when Bernhard passed LMP2 racer Ho-Pin Tung in the #38 Jackie Chan DC Racing ORECA.
He finished a lap clear of Tung to collect his and Bamber's second Le Mans win, while Hartley collected his first.
