2009 24 Hours of Le Mans<\/h1>\n

Held over June 13th and 14, the 2009 24 Hours of LeMans was won by David Brabham, Marc Gene, Alex Wurtz in a Peugeot 908 HDi FAP. They beat the long-time dominant Audi team which was using their largely untested R15 due to lack of the Le Mans test days. It was also Corvette’s very last event as run by the factory in GT1 and probably the last time we will see GT1 cars at Le Mans. Essex Porsche steamrolled the LMP2 class, but lost to a Ferrari 1-2-3 in GT2.<\/p>\n
