What a great era that was. Loads of makes all through the field and some really close competition

Love the Depart Arrivee sign - a classic shot. When did we lose that? 1991?

Indeed, it's the little things you find there that add to the experience no doubt. Wonder why they got rid of that sign then?

So, half a dozen from 1995. A year blighted with plenty of 'non-sun'...... Apart from the day after the race, of course.....

That was quite a car that McLaren. The way it conquered Le Mans that year must have been quite a shock to the other teams. The drivers they had helped too, they certainly seemed suited to that type of event

The great days of GTs when you could see a panel of cars from 300 to 600 hp. Nowadays it's 520, not more, not less.

Well to be honest i was there but saw not a lot of the cars in the conditions, even standing track side you could see the first car and then only hear anything following, spent large amounts of time sheltering rather than watching.

Maybe so, but it was still one of the best Le Mans there has been. Great lineups that year
