Former Formula 1 driver Robert Kubica took victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours with a privately entered Ferrari. The number 83 AF Corse Ferrari 499P, also driven by China's Yifei Ye and Britain's Phil Hanson, took the chequered flag 14.084 seconds ahead of the number six Porsche 963 of France Kevin Estre.

It was a career highlight for Kubica, whose promising Formula 1 career was interrupted in 2011 when a rally crash left him with severe injuries.

Every June drivers from different countries compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France. Established more than a hundred years ago, the endurance race is won by the car covering the greatest distance in 24 hours.
