Chandhok, along with team-mates David Brabham and Peter Dumbreck delivered faultless performances to finish the race on the team's very first attempt at one of world's most prestigious motorsporting event.
"Driving for nine of the last 36 hours and sleeping for four makes for a pretty tiring ratio! I ended up doing the graveyard shift from 2 - 5am, which was very special and exhausting in equal measure. It made me really understand the unique, special nature of this race," Chandhok said.
"Overall a very good race for us and it feels great to be the only Indian to have finished the Le Mans 24hr race. The whole team worked tirelessly and it is a great reward for all their hard work. To finish second amongst the privateer teams is huge so fantastic result all around," he said.
David, the 2009 Le Mans winner, took the start in the team's Honda HPD ARX-03a LMP1 car and immediately gained a place from the starting slot of 11th.
The Australian set a consistent pace to hold 10th position overall before handing over the car to Karun. More
