This year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans, which was broadcast in the U.S. on the MotorTrend Network with a live stream available on the network’s website, was the final race of the FIA World Endurance Championship super season. Many eyes were focused on the pair of Toyota TS050 Hybrids, which finished first (No. 8) and second (No. 7) overall as expected. The team repeated its 1-2 finish in the 24 Hours of Le Mans a year ago.
