A perfect race in perfect conditions saw Peugeot score a 1-2 finish at the fourth race in the 2008 Le Mans Series at the Nurburgring. In front of 22,000 spectators, Stephane Sarrazin and Pedro Lamy led home their team-mates Marc Gene and Nicolas Minassian, the two diesel-powered prototypes crossing the line 16 seconds apart after 1000kms.

The race was completed in five hours, 44 minutes at an average speed of 174km/h (108 mph) around the 5.137km circuit nestled in the Eifel region of Germany.
Jos Verstappen won the "LM" P2 drivers' title in the van Merksteijn Porsche RS Spyder team, which was also declared the teams' champion. The Dutchman, sharing with Jeroen Bleekemolen, scored their third win of the year and lead the points by ten points. The Team Essex Porsche RS Spyder took third place after a spin, a puncture and an incorrect tyre call which saw John Nielsen attempt to double stint his Dunlop tyres.
The Team Modena Aston Martin team won the GT1 class with Tomas Enge and Antonio Garcia, and close to within ten points of the Luc Alphand Aventures Corvette which recovered to take second place in class following an accident with a prototype mid-race. In GT2, the Virgo Motorsport team had a perfect race.
They started from the pit lane after a fire badly damaged the car on Friday, and the team could not set a qualifying time. However, they drove through the field at a scintillating pace, and won the race by two laps from the Team Felbermayr Porsche of Marc Lieb and Alex Davison who struggled for grip.
