Alonso takes Le Mans race
Print Edition
Two-time Formula One champion Fernando Alonso won the 24 Hours Le Mans on his debut in the classic endurance race yesterday. The Spanish driver, together with teammates Kazuki Nakajima of Japan and Sebastien Buemi of Switzerland, completed 388 laps in their Toyota hybrid car, two more than Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez in the other Toyota hybrid. Alonso is now a step closer to matching British driver Graham Hill’s feat of completing motorsport’s unofficial Triple Crown, including wins at the Monaco Grand Prix and Indianapolis 500. It’s Toyota’s first victory at the 20th attempt, and the first win for a Japanese manufacturer since Mazda’s success in 1991. Some 60 factory and private teams competed in the 86th edition of the race.
