Richard Lietz driving a GT Porsche in the Le Mans 24 Hours has become a real fixture of the race over the past two decades but, prior to picking up a second LMGT3 class win in succession last weekend, the Austrian had feared his racing days were over.

He had just turned 40 and, despite already having four class wins at Le Mans under his belt, was convinced he would not be adding to his impressive record around the Circuit de la Sarthe.
