One dramatic race, and a new world record: Porsche Carrera Cup at Le Mans

An undoubted motorsport highlight of 2014 was the Porsche Carrera Cup race at Le Mans. Organised by Porsche France to celebrate the return of Porsche to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, this unique event saw the largest field of Porsche 911 GT3 Cup cars since the 2011 Carrera World Cup race at the Nürburgring, and with 62 cars set a new record for the most 911 GT3 Cup cars (type-991) in a single race. In the 45-minute sprint, drivers from the Porsche Carrera Cup France locked horns with those from Carrera Cup Great Britain on the fast and iconic Circuit de la Sarthe. An exciting race culminated in a dramatic last lap, with Britain's Ben Barker snatching victory.  Watch the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship build to a climax at www.porsche.co.uk/mission2014.
