British number one Jack Draper joked that his body used to break down easily despite "looking a bit like a Ferrari", but believes a decision to tune up means he is now more capable of going the distance in matches.

As a result, Ferrari's 499P is a Le Mans icon, having won the race three times in a row - the previous two years by the works cars.

Both Ferrari and the AF Corse team are closely linked, but victory ahead of the red cars is nevertheless significant.

Kubica's win was in the privately entered AF Corse - yellow livered as a nod to the early days of Ferrari's time in Modena before Enzo Ferrari moved operations to the now-famous Maranello near Bologna.
