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
.
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 .
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.
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 .
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.
Emanuelle Pirro, waiting for the clock to hit the 4:00 pm mark at La Sarthe, on June 13th, 1981. He shared a Lancia Beta Montecarlo with fellow Italian Beppe Gabbiani. They crashed on the 47th lap and had to abandon.
Anyone recognizes the gentleman on the right?
Stumbled upon this nice pic on the web while doing research on a few cars and had the mind to share.
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.
