The double of Peugeot!

However the Audi R10 TDIs could not mount a challenge to the Peugeots and they concentrated on consolidating their positions in third and fourth and scoring valuable points towards the drivers' title.

The Charouz Racing Systems team ran strongly to fifth position overall after recovering from a broken wheel following contact with another car, and being hit from behind with yellow flags flying for a stricken car. It was the car's best finish in a Le Mans Series race since Barcelona in April. In sixth place overall was the Team ORECA Matmut Courage-ORECA of Stephane Ortelli, Soheil Ayari and Loic Duval. They got the race off to a bad start when Ayari spun on the warm up lap, and Duval also had a minor spin mid-way through the race. The sister car of Olivier Panis and Nicolas Lapierre had a gear selection problem which meant that the car retired.

Creation was delighted to reach the finish with both of its AIM-powered prototypes, Jamie Campbell-Walter returning to the cockpit since breaking four vertebra in his back at Monza in April. The British driver admitted that he was stiff after the race, but was delighted to return so successfully to the cockpit. The team brought both of its cars to the finish line. The Pescarolo team did not have such a successful race. Christophe Tinseau suffered gear selection problems in the first half of the race, and Jean-Christophe Boullion was hit by another car, breaking a wheel and causing a puncture. He later crashed out when his rear diffuser came loose, denying him downforce.
