The individual winning record for a pilot is held by Denmark's Tom Kristensen with 8 victories, and the record for builders is held by Porsche, with 16. Since 1971 the highest average speed in this race belonged to the Porsche 917K of Helmut Marko and Gijs Van Lennep, who travelled 5335 kilometres with an average of 222.304 km/h. At that time the circuit had no chicanes. This record was held for 39 years and was only beaten by the Audi R15 TDI in 2010, designated as car # 9, which completed a total of 397 laps, covering a distance of 5,410.713 km.
