Michel Barge, director of Peugeot Sport, confirmed the exit of car number 7 to the medias.

Not looking for any excuses, he finished by saying that his team will be back in 2008, stronger and better.



Less than 60 minutes before the end of the race, the number 8 Peugeot also showed signs of fatigue, which worried team managers. The car was brought back to the pits for a quick exam before finally completing the race and earning second place.



The three teams on the podium have fully earned the right to spray champagne all over themselves and the crowd, considering the amount of water they have sweat.

Final results: the Audi R10 TDI number 1, in first place, the Peugeot number 8, in second place, and the Pascarolo Judd number 16, in third place.


Emmanuel Pirro, Frank Biela and Marco Werner, from Team Audi R10 TDI, proudly stand on top of the podium with their director, Joachim Matheis.

It marked Audi's fourth consecutive victory at Le Mans.



Let's not forget about the superb machines in the Vintage class race. There were some outstanding cars in that group.

I was excited to admire them... some for the first time; others, not.

All in all, the entire team of Flagworld had a blast at its first-ever 24 Hours.
