one of these people is REALLY ill!

I reckon it's the poor sod on the floor who couldn't even make it into the bed.

what a sight! never of course, actually race together (not strictly true and I wonder if anyone can is as much of an anorak to tell me why? go on Jules!)

little big mans start:





and yet another Dell on the floor shot! Obviously not excited by the sight of the 1980 winning Rondeau


our friends car looking good in new colour:

rare shot of all cars still working, (shortly before the Laws and the Taylor car got lost!

Hi Mark

Could it be that the Porsche 917 was in use from 1970 - 1975 approx and the Porsche 936 was used from 1976 - 1981 approx.

Also they would probably be in different classes as the 917 has a "coupe" hard top cockpit and the 936 is open topped and was a group 6 car.

Do I qualify for that anorak?

Hey Riku is not a bad snapper, especially impressed by the group shot of the cars on the curving bridge, well done fella!!

actually no, you are pointing out what I originaly said, they did not race together....but there was an exception.....
any more offers? Jules should know as one of the cars had his name on the side!

Savage pics man , well done , thats the best shot of my car that I have !!

Great pics. Love the shot of the one on the bridge. That tail end charlie should have brought his car up a bit closer for it though!

And at the Buffalo grill what's that silly hat Jen's wearing?

Le Mans '81




Sad or what

Le Mans '81

I knew you would know it, takes one to know one!
Yes, the Kremer brothers built their own 917, many years after the original using spare parts and a chassis they made themselves! The 936 by this time having sprouted the later rear wing supports but essentially the same car that appeared at the classic this year.

....if you include qualifying sessions, there is an alternative answer before '81 i think

I saw this on Pistonheads. It looks like this Ferrari owner appreciated your cars (and the fact that you stopped to help). I am of course presuming it was you lot!



''You know what, isn't it fantastic how everyone stops to help each other? When the Fezza went wrong a couple of guys in Ranault Alpines pulled over to see if we were ok - sadly they couldn't do much as they didn't have radweld/barrs etc but the gesture was enough.

Not sure if you're reading this fellas, but thanks! Oh, and your cars sounded REALLY good as you 'gently' pulled away! V6 Turbo's are loud with little or no silencers!''

Yes, that was myself and the Law brigade that stopped to assist a 348 with a broken rad core which dumped all its water.
It's not that we left gently...... we had places to get to and many other cars to see

Which Ferrari site was it, a link maybe?

I stopped for a trio of Stags too, but the old geezers seemed to think they were under control.

FANTASTIC weekend. roll on 2012.
