Cadillacly Cool

For the 1950 edition of the 24 Heures du Mans, Briggs Cunningham took two Cadillacs to La Sarthe, a Coupe de Ville and the famous Spider “Le Monstre”. Without a doubt one of the most awesome duo of cars to ever race at Le Mans .

Le Mans 1990

Porsche 962C #6, driven by Jean-Louis Ricci, Henri Pescarolo and Jacques Laffite. Only managed 14th place, but has an AWESOME livery.

And I have one .

Chevron B36

Chevron B36

One of the really cool things about Le Mans is that you can see some really wacky cars . Like this Chevron B36 from 1987. Piloted by José Thibault and Alain Heinrich, it had to abandon after only 18 laps.

Unfortunately, this one is not available in 1:43.

One of the coolest Le Mans’ car stories EVER!

This one was totally new to me. Doing some research on a certain car, I came upon the story of the Whittington Brothers. Courtesy of VINWiki, if you have 10 minutes to spare, sit back and enjoy .

The story behind the 1966 Le Mans Ford win – how 8 m changed history

After seeing this you just can’t avoid feeling bad for Ken Miles and a bit miffed at Ford for causing the Mk. II #2 to take the podium . Still, the best Le Mans documentary I’ve seen this year, bar none.

The Pink Pig finally wins at La Sarthe

In 1971 the Pink Pig had it’s chance to win Le Mans, but over-stressed brakes caused the car to crash close to the half point of the race.

This year, 47 years later, a Pink Pig crosses the finish line in first, and the Der Trüffeljäger von Zuffenhausen was avenged.
