Fernando Alonso has claimed his first race victory in just under five years by winning his World Endurance Championship debut at the Six Hours of Spa.
Alonso and teammates Kazuki Nakajima and Sebastien Buemi emerged victorious in the No.8 Toyota at Belgium's iconic Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium. The race was the first of the two-time world champion's extensive WEC schedule this year which he will do alongside his Formula One duties with McLaren and will include his first attempt to win the Le Mans 24 Hours in June.
Alonso's last race win came at the Spanish Grand Prix on May 12, 2013 - the five-year anniversary will fall during this year's race in Barcelona next weekend.
