Porsche’s 919 Hybrid won its first ever race in the final event of the 2014 FIA World Endurance Championship.

This last race of the season was held in São Paulo, Brazil, and the winning 919 Hybrid, wearing number 14, was driven by the trio of Romain Dumas (France), Neel Jani (Switzerland) and Marc Lieb (Germany).

At the same time as the Porsche team achieved the biggest success of the car’s debut season, it stated it had its greatest shock when Mark Webber was involved in an accident in the sister car with less than half an hour to go before the end of the six-hour race.

Mark Webber, the Australian, who shares the LMP1 race car with Timo Bernhard (Germany) and Brendon Hartley (New Zealand), crashed heavily into the barriers at the fast last turn of the track, while he was in sixth position. The initial information the team received from the medical centre at the track was that he was not badly injured. However, he has been transferred to a hospital in São Paulo for further checks. The race finished behind the safety car with Neel Jani at the wheel of the winning car.

Porsche Team said the race went as such for the winning 919 Hybrid: Lieb started from second, but lost one place to a Toyota on the first lap. After various attempts to get the position back, after 37 laps he handed over the car, which was still lying in third, to Jani. The Swiss continued to attack the Toyota, they swapped places, but when Jani handed over to Dumas after 76 laps the car was still third. Dumas only got by when the Toyota had contact with another car on lap 88.

On lap 105 Dumas had to pit early because of a right rear puncture. Lieb got behind the wheel again and took the lead after 119 laps when the sister car suffered problems. Lieb pitted after 144 laps to hand the car back to Dumas. After 183 laps Jani took over with the car lying second. At his final pit stop after 222 laps he stayed in the car and took the risk not to change tires to save time. The risk paid off.
