Peugueot dominate 1000km of Algarve

Nicolas Lapierre and Olivier Panis dominated the only night-time race of the 2010 Le Mans Series to win the 1000km of Algarve in style.

Driving the Number 4 Oreca Matmut Peugeot, the French duo finished well ahead of the Rebellion Lola of Nicolas Prost and Neel Jani.

Over a six-hour period and 215 laps of the undulating circuit, Lapierre and Panis built a massive five-lap lead over their closest pursuers. A further two laps back behind Jani and Prost, Franck Mailleux and Pierre Ragues took third place in a Lola entered by the Signature team.
