Also Tandy puts Britain clear of France with the most Le Mans winners.

It's been too long since something without a tractor engine has won!

Also. lolnissan.

Some get Brendon Hartley a hairdresser!

Or a dog groomer....

We had hoped that Sean Edwards was going to end up in a works LMP1 Porsche at some point, sadly that day will never come but sure he's watching this from up there!

Flibster · 14 Jun 2015 at 14:32

Jacky Ickx getting a little confused with the trophies.

Vertigo · 14 Jun 2015 at 14:39

It really is a rather protracted podium ceremony. They've still got the thee other classes to do yet.

Flibster · 14 Jun 2015 at 14:43

Laptop stopped playing the stream.
Fired up the tablet.... showing the overall winners podium again?

Vertigo · 14 Jun 2015 at 14:44

Yeah think the stream has gone - bit off if they've not finished all the podiums!

Housey · 14 Jun 2015 at 14:45

Yea poor show cutting the WEC stream.

Yeah was thinking that last night when I was watching nick tandy driving

Well chuffed with that result

Very happy Porsche won, as they have worked really hard for it. Nissan didn't do too badly considering it's their first Le Mans with the new car, so it was a test session for them really.

I've just left Le Mans and it's a long drive home, the roads don't look too bad at the moment.

We left quite early (2ish) due to ferry times - roads were clear all the way after spending an hour or so actually getting off site

I bought the WEC stream of it (and the rest of the season). If F1 did a service like this I'd be all over it as it gives me what I want at a reasonable price.

I wanted an Audi to win but the Porsche teams deserved it so no complaints from me. I was a tad disappointed in the Nissan LMP1s.

Once they got over the first 30 minutes or so of the start of the race, the WEC app worked without fuss or problem for me. I had it working perfectly in HD on my TV through AirPlay into my Apple TV. Really nice solution, just wish they had the Radio Le Mans team doing the commentary as it got a bit dry at some points, even with them reading out my insightful and erudite Tweets

I was rather amused by the tshirts worn by the Porsche team after they won.. with all of Audi's #welcomechallenges, they all had "Challenge Accepted" written across the back of their shirts..

Written in tyre tracks - no doubt a reference to this from last year:

Eurosport player app had two feeds, one with commentary and their adverts, the other the default feed with no commentary and no adverts for full 24h, we just added radio lemans to this as it was clearly the same feed feed they were getting, we just had to sync the audio buy pausing it for 5 seconds.

Not bad for £5.99 and we started this from wednesday for Q1. also get rest of month to watch eurosport.

Housey · 15 Jun 2015 at 18:14

Yea I head that from friends doing the same, but I liked the additional in car stuff from the WEC app and the added stats were interested too when you were leaving and coming back for a quick catch up.

RSR · 15 Jun 2015 at 18:27

I've got the season pass on the WEC app and over all its pretty good but I agree I could do with the people from Radio LeMans but happy with it for 22 quid for the year.
