I did not spot this result until after my first post.
At least it wasn't a rear main seal!
The GT2 class offered up the first non-Porsche win in quite a while, with the Team LNT Panoz Esperante of Kimber-Smith, Dean and Tomlinson overtaking the class-leading Porsche in the last half-hour when the Porsche limped to the pits with a broken gear-shift. The Porsche finished second, only minutes behind the Panoz, with the Ferrari F430GT of legendary Scottish team Ecurie Ecosse rounding out the podium.
A record race crowd of 235,000 enjoyed the race, while millions more worldwide followed it on TV.
