The young Frenchman from the Porsche Carrera Cup won in a GT3 RS. While Dumas was driving a 600-kilogram prototype (Norma M20 RD Limited), Vincent Beltoise secured a class victory for the team in a Porsche. En route from the start at 2,865 metres to the peak at 4,301, he mastered 156 corners over a distance of 20 kilometres.
9:05.801 minutes was the time he needed for the 'Race into the Clouds', making him the overall winner. He had big plans: two weeks after the 24-hour race, he turned out with his own team for the famous hill race on Pikes Peak in Colorado (U.S.). Romain Dumas devoted himself to his rally team as soon as the hype of Le Mans subsided. And where does a petrol head like Timo Bernhard go on holiday? To the very sedate area of Salzburger Land in Austria. From 21 st to 23 rd July, Timo and LMP1 colleagues Brendon Hartley and Marc Lieb were busy testing at Paul Ricard, France, which was followed by a detour for Team 75 Berhard's participation at the Red Bull Ring in Austria, before it was then off on holiday with wife Katharina and little Paul.
The car is normally driven by Earl Bamber (NZ) in the Porsche Carrera Cup Deutschland for Team 75 run by Timo's dad Rüdiger Bernhard. The most successful holiday and family excursion came on 13 th July - on son Paul's first birthday, Timo took overall victory in the 41 st Homburg ADAC Hill Race in a Porsche 991 Cup (Typ 991) in Germany. With his team-mate Mark Webber he subsequently attended the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, where he naturally also dropped by for the Porsche Supercup. Two weeks after the 24 Hours of Le Mans, he enjoyed taking part with his Porsche GT3 Cup as the course car in the Rallye Warndt in the German Saarland. Timo Bernhard's passion is driving Porsche cars – be it for the works team on the track or in a private capacity in rallying or recently hill climbing, too.
