Nicki Thiim (No. 95 Aston Martin Vantage GTE, Aston Martin Racing): "I came here without really knowing what to expect. I was the rookie of the driver line-up and everyone told me it was going to be a good experience for me. So obviously to win in my first attempt, I do not have the words to describe what I'm feeling. A big thank you to my teammates who supported me a lot. I really enjoyed the experience and I hope of course to be at the start again next year."

Kristian Poulsen (No. 95 Aston Martin Vantage GTE, Aston Martin Racing): "I enjoyed the battle on the track, the positions that we had to get back. The car is just phenomenal. We didn't have the least bit of mechanical issues and managed to keep the car on the track under all circumstances…That's how we won the 24 Hours. A big thank you to the mechanics and the team for giving us such a great car!"

David Heinemeier-Hansson (No. 95 Aston Martin Vantage GTE, Aston Martin Racing): "It was a very difficult week for the entire Aston Martin team. A few months ago, I didn't think we'd be back. To be honest, during the first laps, I told myself it wasn't a good idea. But this race, we had to compete and win it for Allan (Simonsen), for his parents, for the foundation that now carries his name, for the support that we have in Denmark and, especially for him, for Allan, who we do not forget!"
