A
second consecutive overall win for Romain Dumas and Timo Bernhard. Just as last week, the team behind the No 7 Penske Motorsport Porsche RS Spyder excelled in their refuelling and driver-change stops. At the start Romain was able to get to the head of the field and pull out a lead over the pursuers, and Timo then maintained this lead, despite repeated efforts by their opponents.
This weekend, Roger Penske’s men achieved a formidable success which means that Romain and Timo have increased their lead in the points table.
Romain: “Last year we led this race but we had a mechanical problem. We hoped it would be different this year. Timo wasn’t sure at the start, but now I think he likes this race! It was great fun and we had a truly great race. Before the start, we knew the car was quick, but we were thinking more of the LMP2 championship than an overall win”.
