    The No.4 Audi R8 LMS of Phoenix Racing took victory. Apparently a few laps from the end of the race the driver was radioing in that he had massive vibration problems, Phoenix were alegedly keeping these messages under wraps so as not to inform the 2nd place SLS. The driver was told to avoid any kerbs and not to go into the banked section of the Kaurussel. He finished the race triumphantly, with ONE loose bolt left holding the steering wheel on! Classic 24 hour racing :)
