Porsche has provisionally inherited overall victory in Sunday’s Six Hours of Silverstone, following a post-race technical infraction on the race-winning No. 7 Audi R18 of Andre Lotterer, Benoit Treluyer and Marcel Fassler.

The Audi’s front skid block was found to have been under the 20mm minimum in post-race scrutineering.

It therefore gives the No. 2 Porsche 919 Hybrid of Romain Dumas, Neel Jani and Marc Lieb the win, pending a potential appeal from Audi.

The No. 6 Toyota TS050 Hybrid of Stephane Sarrazin, Mike Conway and Kamui Kobayshi has been elevated to second, ahead of the No. 13 Rebellion R-One AER, which will be scored with an overall podium finish in the attrition-filled race.

More to come…
