Fernando Alonso won Le Mans 24 Hours at the first attempt as he and team-mates Sebastian Buemi and Kazuki Nakajima finally ended Toyota's long drought.

Toyota had never won the sportscar race despite years of trying but finally delivered in an event in which they were effectively without opposition.

Alonso's victory completes the second part of motorsport's 'triple crown' for the two-time Formula 1 world champion.

Twice a Monaco Grand Prix winner, he now wants to win the Indianapolis 500.

Only Englishman Graham Hill has won all three classic races in the entire history of motorsport.
