Nico Hulkenberg claims Le Mans glory with Porsche

Nico Hulkenberg was victorious in his first Le Mans 24 Hours race as Porsche claimed a one-two to end Audi's dominance.

The Formula 1 driver, along with New Zealand's Earl Bamber and Briton Nick Tandy, took the chequered flag driving the Porsche 919 Hybrid.

The number 19 car finished ahead of former F1 driver Mark Webber, Brendon Hartley and Timo Bernhard, who were driving Porsche's number 17.

The Audi trio of Andre Lotterer, Benoit Treluyer and Marcel Faessler, who won last year's endurance race, finished third in the 83rd edition of the event.

Victory for Porsche was their 17th Le Mans win overall.
