Audi takes Bahrain 1-2 in its final WEC race, Porsche takes title

Audi signed off its World Endurance Championship programme with a 1-2 at the 6 Hours of Bahrain, whilst the #2 Porsche of Neel Jani, Romain Dumas and Marc Lieb took the title with sixth place.

With the announcement that Audi will pull out of the WEC series this year, it secured the best possible result in its final race as the #8 car of Lucas di Grassi, Loic Duval and Oliver Jarvis took the win and secured the German squad's 17th WEC victory.

Porsche completed the podium with the #1 car of Mark Webber, Timo Bernhard and Brendon Hartley finishing more than a minute adrift of the Audis, whilst the two Toyota TS050's were fourth and fifth.

With an outside chance of snatching the title from Porsche, Toyota needed a win and trouble for the #2 car, but ultimately Jani, Dumas and Lieb did enough in sixth, despite contact with the #78 Porsche troubling them and forcing an unscheduled stop for repairs.

Rebellion's #13 car led the privateer class, finishing ahead of the sole ByKolles CLM by four laps.

In the LMP2 field the #26 G-Drive Oreca team of Rene Rast, Alex Brundle and Roman Rusinov did the unthinkable and went from last to first with blinding drives from all three to finish just six seconds ahead of the #43 RGR Sport by Morand Ligier.

Signatech Alpine claimed third place after leading in the early stage of the race, but finish champions in the LMP2 class.

Aston Martin take home the GTE-Pro drivers' title with a victory for the #95 car of Nicki Thiim and Marco Sorensen – their second win of 2016.

It looked as though Aston Martin would take the 1-2, but a loose front-wheel meant it lost time as it crawled back to the pits and ended up fifth, behind the two AF Corse Ferraris and the #67 Ford GT.

Ferrari take home the manufacturers' title.

In the GTE-Am class, the victory went to the #88 Porsche entry of Pat Long, Khaled Al-Qubaisi and David Heinemeier Hansson, but the #83 AF Corse trio of Emmanuel Collard, Francois Perrodo and Rui Aguas took title with third place.
