Audi is now in the lead, and gets ready to lap GT1 and GT2 cars:
The Audi R8 would win by about 15 seconds... by all standards a close race, especially since the Porsches and Audi changed places a few times over the 2.5 hours of the race.
Porsche did not secure an overall win, but their showing was impressive considering that the Audi was in a faster class. Porsches finished 1-2 in both LMP2 and GT2.
I'm not 100% positive, but if memory serves me correctly, the overall finishing order was:
1) LMP1 Audi R8
2) LMP2 Porsche RS Spyder
3) LMP2 Porsche RS Spyder
4) GT1 Aston Martin DB9
5) Chevrolet Corvette C6
Although it did not race, the now-retired R8's replacement and heir apparent (unless Porsche unveils a LMP1 car soon) WAS present at the race. Behold, the mighty (Diesel!) Audi R10:
