Porsche has taken the top two steps on the podium at the 83rd running of the Le Mans 24-Hour, with the car shared by Aussie Mark Webber finishing in second place.

The number 19 Porsche 919 Hybrid driven by F1 pilot Nico Hulkenberg, Nick Tandy and New Zealander Earl Bamber took the victory at the expiry of 24 hours, while Webber and teammates Timo Bernhard and another New Zealander in Brendon Harley brought the number 17 car home second.

Porsche’s 17th Le Mans win and first outright victory at the event since 1998 marked the end of Audi’s recent domination of the 24-Hour, which had seen the four-ring carmaker take victory five years in a row.

The LM P1 category also featured Toyota and Nissan, with the latter creating Le Mans history by choosing a front-wheel-drive layout.
