McLaren at La Sarthe
Edgard, my good friend (and stinker), sent me this link a few weeks ago and though I bookmarked it, unfortunately I forgot about it. My bad, because it’s 40 minutes of pure gearhead bliss. McLaren released this video in the 90s, where they show a lot of the development behind the Mac F1 and their attempt at Le Mans.
Even if you’re not a Mac F1 fan boy it’s cool to see 😎.

The Nissan GTR-LM was a failure. Why?
Le Mans isn’t forgiving, and being blunt, the project of the GTR-LM was kind of wacky. With that, the car just flunked. Aidan Millward has an in-depth explanation why.
Such a shame, since I really liked the lines of the beast.

24 Heures du Mans 2019 – highlights
On the 15th I posted that ACO released their “official movie” about the 2019 edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The film was a condensed 1h20m of the whole race, with all the highlights. Unfortunately though, today (17th) I looked and ACO or someone else pulled the video from YT 😖. I fortunately downloaded it to watch on a TV, but those who didn’t are out of luck. What you can see is the highlights of the race (above), just 11 minutes, but better than nothing, right?
Boogers 😕.

Bizzarrini Iso Grifo A3C
Yesterday I found an episode of Jay Leno’s Garage about the Bizzarrini A3C. The exact one that raced at Le Mans in 1965 and came in first in it’s class. You can find more info on the car here at W-143.
