Mark Webber sits in the pits serving his co-driver's penalty. For an F1 champ used to working alone, it's a harsh test of team spirit. Porsche turns their hopes to their #19 car, driven by Le Mans rookies Earl Bamber, Nick Tandy and Nico Hülkenberg. Meanwhile, Rebellion battle with exhaustion and electrical problems, as their driver Nico Prost fights to live up to his father Alain Prost's legacy.

6. Checkered Flag: Victory
After the back of his car implodes, André Lotterer throws caution to the wind and puts in the quickest laps of the race. Ahead of Lotterer, it's brother against brother as F1 legend Mark Webber and rookie Earl Bamber's Porsches go head-to-head. Way back down the order, Nissan's Jann Mardenborough is just trying to make it to the finish line as his dreams of a Le Mans win go up in flames.
