Right Hand drive at Le Mans

I was looking again at a poster I got last year at LM which has pictures of all the winning cars. I noticed that nearly all the cars are RHD, and even where the driver is pretty central they tend to be on the right side of central! Bentleys and Jags I can understand, but Alfas, Ferraris, GT40s, Matras and Porsches?

I vaguely know that sportscars and touring cars have reasons for using LHD or RHD, something to do with centre of gravity, clockwise vs. anticlockwise track etc. If anyone can offer more techinical reasons I would appreciate it.
