Aston Martin Racing's 007 car - guided to third by Jan Charouz, Tomas Enge and Stefan Mucke at SIlverstone - finished the season on top of the standings with 39 points.

Panis and Lapierre had started the endurance race from pole position, and did just enough to keep ahead of Speedy Racing Team's number 13 car.

That entry, driven by Andrea Belicchi, Marcel Fassler and Nicolas Prost, completed the same number of laps as Panis and Lapierre but was over 50 seconds behind.

In the Aston Martin Racing 007's sister car Harold Primat and Darren Turner were fourth.

The Kolles Audi of Christian Albers and Christian Bakkerud came in fifth one lap behind.
