Guys, at 00:43, from Audi Team, that was the old black Stig from Top Gear. Driver Perry McCarthy.

From Wikipedia:-

"Perry McCarthy appeared in 2002 and 2003 on the BBC's Top Gear motoring show as The Stig, a masked, anonymous, racing driver who evaluated the latest high performance cars. McCarthy was the original, black-suited Stig, who was "killed off" at the start of the 3rd series."

He was an F1 Driver as well.

Mmm, my heart dies every time I see those punctures. If only the Toyota had been given one more year to sort them out! Really important Le Mans in that it's lead to so much. This is where we see the genesis of prototype sports cars as we know them. I was quite young when I saw it too (I am 26) and it's still my favourite Le Mans to date. Not too fond of the newer Diesel cars. I like to hear a car scream!
