Fernando Alonso stap dichter bij Triple Crown

Door Bart17 juni 2018 · 15:38 uur1 min lezen

Fernando Alonso is een stap dichter bij zijn doel om de Triple Crown of Motorsport te winnen. Bij zijn debuut in de 24 uur van Le Mans won de Spanjaard in zijn Toyota samen met Kazuki Nakajima en Sebastien Buemi. Na zijn eerdere winst van de Grand Prix van Monaco mist Alonso alleen nog de winst in de Indy500.

De Toyota met startnummer 8 voltooide 388 ronden op het Circuit de la Sarthe, twee meer dan de andere Toyota van Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi en Jose Maria Lopez. De enige coureur die ooit de Triple Crown wist te winnen was de Brit Graham Hill.

Ook voor Toyota betekende de winst een mijlpaal. Het was voor de Japanse fabrikant de eerste overwinning in Le Mans in twintig deelnames.
