First run in 1976 as part of the World Sportscar Championship, the race continues today with the FIA World Endurance Championship. Since 2013, the RAC Tourist Trophy has been awarded to the winners of the event. Perhaps the most dramatic of a recent flurry of post race disqualifications has seen both the first and second placed Toyota TS050s excluded from the results of the 6 Hours of Silverstone after both cars failed the post race technical inspection with similar issues surrounding deflection of the front part of the mandatory skid block. Whilst Toyota look set to appeal the decision the provisional results now show a win for the #3 Rebellion R13 of Thomas Laurent, Matthias Beche and Gustavo Menezes with the #1 R13 classified second, with Andre Lotterer and Neel Jani, a first ever overall WEC win for Rebellion Racing.The #17 SMP Racing BR1 AER of Stephane Sarrazin and Egor Orudzhev is classified third. 574528
