Simon Dolan (No. 38 Zytek Z11SN-Nissan, Jota Sport, LM P2): "It's a very special result! It's the biggest race in the world. We just won and we are having a hard time letting it sink in given our situation last night. We never backed down and our strategy ended up working at the end of the race. Wonderful driving by Harry and Oliver, no one made a mistake. Victory came into view during the last stints, with a gap of 20 seconds to make up, which we managed to do. A very important result for the team."

Harry Tincknell (No. 38 Zytek Z11SN-Nissan, Jota Sport, LM P2): "I was in the middle of my stint when the pit asked me to put pressure on our opponents in order to see if they would crack. I just drove to the max for the duration of the triple-stint, and even during the third one the times were still very competitive. Then the Ligier started to slow down and I passed it a few laps before it stopped. During the last laps, I just gave it my all for the team. Crossing the line as the winner was just insane."

Oliver Turvey (No. 38 Zytek Z11SN-Nissan, Jota Sport, LM P2): "These last few days have been unreal! The team with which I was initially entered could not come and I was frustrated not to be at the start of this fantastic race. Then, Wednesday evening, I got a phone call from Jota Sport telling me that following Loic Duval's incident, Audi may need Marc Gené. The Thursday sessions were just about getting my bearings. The race was amazing. We had some issues during the first third of the race but the team didn't give up. Starting early morning, we didn't quit pushing. It was a tight race right to the finish. An absolutely incredible result!"
