Porsche beat teen bolter

-

VETERAN German Timo Bernhard led Porsche to a dramatic third straight win at the 24 Hours Le Mans race in France to prevent a huge upset win by lesser category Oreca team.

After a series of mishaps to prerace favourites Porsche and Toyota, the LMP2 category Oreca suddenly found itself in the lead with 19-yearold Frenchman Thomas Laurent behind the wheel three hours from the end of the gruelling endurance race.

But Bernhard, 36, overtook the teen with about an hour remaining.
