The winning team completed 695 laps, covering 2,474.2 miles and crossing the finish line with a 1.461-second margin. “Bob was convincingly, absolutely dead sure we were going to win it. He was right. The guys were prepared. Everybody knew exactly what to do and how to do it, and the execution was perfect. What can I say? It’s a dream come true,” said Bourdais, who won the event for the first time.
