I love those group c cars. Would love to see them back racing again.

did u know Jaguar paid a fashion designer to come to Le Mans and make sure the outfits and all other apparel match the car

I think the reason the #17 porsche wanted to get in front of the #18 porsche during the race is because... in case they came into the pits at the same time like that, at least the #17 could position himself in a way where the #18 could pull out easier. But since he came in second, and had his spot in front, he had no choice but to position himself the way he did. That was kinda stupid.

@frederikke100 Well Rothmans Porsche won in 1982, 1983, 1986 and 1987

@ratzinator1

not 6:40, my apologies 5:40

6:40 - the Marshalls were really brave helping Nielsen there with the cars in that area going 100+ miles/hr.

Nice to hear these two again Anthony Marsh and Neville Hay. Ref Jaguar ankles I have checked both my Jaguars and neither have ankles!
