After a relentless battle likely to be remembered for the ages even amid the storied history of this race, ­Ferrari’s victory at the Le Mans 24 Hours must count as one of the team’s hardest fought wins at the Circuit de la Sarthe.

Ultimately it was the No 50 ­Ferrari 499P of Italy’s Antonio Fuoco, Spain’s Miguel Molina and Denmark’s ­Nicklas Nielsen who took the flag in the 92nd Grand Prix d’Endurance, a first ­victory at the 24 for all three drivers, who will remember this day long into their dotage.
