Japanese driver Kazuki Nakajima had been on course to take the chequered flag when he reported a problem before slowing with less than five minutes remaining.

That handed the victory to the number two Porsche shared by Switzerland’s Neel Jani, Frenchman Roland Dumas and Germany’s Marc Lieb.

The 84th edition of the race was watched by a crowd of 263,500 spectators.
