Dumfries Allan McNish was part of the Audi team to finish third at the Le Mans 24-hour race as Peugeot finished first and second.

That ended Audi's five-year dominance over the event as McNish, Rinaldo Capello and Tom Kristensen , who were victorious in 2008, had to settle for third.

"Audi will bounce back, of that there is no question," said McNish.

"We have enjoyed phenomenal success here at Le Mans and will come back again stronger."

Spain's Marc Gene, Australia's David Brabham and Alexander Wurz of Austria drove their diesel-powered Peugeot number nine car to victory.

The trio completed 382 laps, one lap more than the Peugeot number eight car driven by Frenchmen Sebastien Bourdais, Franck Montagny and Stephane Sarrazin.
