24 Hours of Le Mans 2017 – Report and Photos

Avatar photoSports Car Digest

The 24 Hours of Le Mans 2017 was held 17-18 June at the 38-turn, 8.469 mile Circuit de la Sarthe in France.

As the curtain fell on the 85th running of the world’s greatest endurance race, motorsport enthusiasts were treated to a sensational edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Following an action-packed race weekend, with raw emotion played out trackside, it was Timo Bernhard in the #2 Porsche 919 Hybrid who took the chequered flag as Porsche secured its 19th victory and third successive triumph at Le Mans. Recognized as the ‘Grand Prix of Endurance’, the 24 Hours of Le Mans demands more from the teams and drivers than any other racing event in the world, testing the limits of man and machine to the extreme.
