LE MANS, France -- Fernando Alonso won the 24 Hours Le Mans endurance race for the second straight year after the Toyota Gazoo team's other car came unstuck on Sunday.
It was the two-time Formula One champion's last race in the World Endurance Championship, and also sealed the WEC title. Alonso and his co-drivers Sebastien Buemi and Kazuki Nakajima, who took the checkered flag, had luck on their side in securing the title.
With about one hour left, the Toyota No. 7 car driven by Jose Maria Lopez had to pit for a tire change when comfortably leading.
