Loved every minute of the 6 Hours of Silverstone? Here’s how you can see replays of the race on TV
The first race of the 2016 season has now entered the history books and it lived up to all expectations with plenty of action and excitement as we have come to expect in the FIA World Endurance Championship. Audi Sport Team Joest’s Marcel Fässler, André Lotterer and Benoit Tréluyer took the chequered flag first but were found to be not in compliance with a regulation concerning the front skid block during post-race scrutineering and Porsche claimed the maximum race points. AF Corse’s Davide Rigon and Sam Bird took victory in the LMGTE class, and WEC newcomer RGR Sport by Morand claimed victory in LMP2.
