This year’s Le Mans 24 Hours was an emotional race. With the passing of Allan Simonsen, this race will always be remembered for that, for his talent, for him as a person. In the fullness of time we will remember Audi’s win, Tom Kristensen’s 9th win, McNish’s third and Duval’s first. We will remember OAK taking a 1-2 in P2 and Porsche taking both the GTEAm and Pro wins in a result we never expected. For now, we take a look at what you saw in the race, presented without comment.
What a w/e! Strong emotions 4 9-time winner Tom Kristensen http://t.co/yozsGW1Dqb! HLTS NOW & at 11.15pm 2nite #LM24! pic.twitter.com/97Z63PnG2b

The race though, for the moment will be remembered for the passing of Allan Simonsen. It seems that many of you were touched by Allan and his driving in some way
RIP Allan Simonsen. A life well lived isn't measured by anniversaries of birth but rather by the commitment shown in the years given to us.
