In a predictable outcome, Audi once again won the most important race in the world. Despite a heavy threat from Peugeot and retirement of a team car, Frank Biela, Emanuele Pirro and Marco Werner drove Audi #1 the furthest, leading to a wet 24 hour finish.<\/p>\n

Big news came from the GT1 class where Aston Martin successfully dethroned long time winner Corvette. Number 009 placed a remarkable fifth overall as driven by David Brabham, Rickard Rydell and Darren Turner.<\/p>\n

Our gallery of LeMans with shots from over 10 sources can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
