Is the Brittany crossing from Portsmouth to Le Havre cancelled for Tuesday night?

I have not received anything from them, nor can I find anything on their website.

This is what was posted at work on Monday:

Title - Famous five McLaren F1 GTRs to be reunited at Le Mans two decades after dominant result

Body -

The five McLaren F1 GTRs that finished the 1995 24 Hours of Le Mans to complete a parade lap 20 years after famous victory Ultimate celebration of the GTR legacy as the McLaren P1™ GTR makes global dynamic debut. Follow the celebrations and join the conversation on the McLaren social channels using the hashtag #McLaren95.

McLaren Automotive and McLaren Special Operations (MSO) will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the famous 24 Hours of Le Mans win next month with the ultimate display at the French circuit. The five examples of the McLaren F1 GTR that dominated the 1995 race, including the race-winning chassis #01R, will take to the track led by the latest McLaren model to wear the famous GTR badge as the McLaren P1™ GTR makes its global public dynamic debut. This will be the first time all five cars have been on track together since the chequered flag fell shortly after 16.00, 18 June 1995.

Twenty years on from the famous win, the five cars that finished – chassis #01R, #06R, #02R, #07R and #05R – will return for a parade lap of the legendary circuit prior to the lights going green for the 83rd running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans. The McLaren P1™ GTR will lead the charge driven by French former racer Yannick Dalmas, who was part of the winning driver line-up in the number 59 McLaren F1 GTR. His teammates J.J. Lehto and Masanori Sekiya will also join the parade, along with owners of the limited edition 650S Le Mans.

Designed and developed by MSO, the McLaren P1™ GTR is a 1,000PS (986bhp) track-dedicated model which provides membership to the world’s most exclusive McLaren ownership programme. The McLaren P1™ GTR Driver Programme offers unique access to race winning knowledge and expertise within the McLaren Technology Centre, and a bespoke driver training programme designed to hone and optimise driving skills.

DEBUT VICTORY SECURES TRIPLE CROWN

The McLaren F1 secured its place in motorsport history 20 years ago when five lightly race modified examples crossed the finish line of the world’s most famous endurance race in France to complete one of the most dominant results the event had ever seen. The McLaren F1 GTR, in its debut outing at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, claimed outright victory, and also finished third, fourth, fifth and 13th against a field of purpose-built prototypes and more established manufacturers. This result meant that McLaren was, and still is, the only manufacturer to have claimed the Triple Crown of Motorsport – victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Monaco Grand Prix and the Indianapolis 500.

MSO HERITAGE GETS THE McLAREN F1 GTR BACK ON TRACK

McLaren Special Operations, as it is known today, was launched at Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance in 2011. However, a division was first set up as the McLaren Customer Care Programme in the 1990s to service, maintain and personalise the McLaren F1 for owners. This service continues at McLaren, and is now managed by the MSO Heritage team, offering an unrivalled level of knowledge and expertise on the McLaren F1. Following its last public outing at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2013 to honour 50 years of McLaren, the MSO Heritage team has been responsible for  returning the race-winning #01R to the track. 

Ahead of the 20th anniversary, a number of key figures involved with the original McLaren F1 GTR project have looked back at preparations for the race weekend, and the event itself. Visit cars.mclaren.com/le-mans-memories to hear these unique insights into one of the true milestones in the history of the McLaren brand.

Has any of you managed to access your membership account via this page:

http://www.passion-24.org/htm/passion.asp

I try this and it never works - even though they confirm my details via e-mail so I know I'm entering the correct things.  Is it just me or does it just not work?


Not just you. That particular route never works for me either.

Great pictures - thanks.
Erm.....there are two shots of the Gulf DB9R #009, one undercover and still carrying what looks like 24hr muck and the other in the open air and very clean. Did they wash it during the day or am I missing something??

Two different vehicles.......unless they swapped the bonnet, front fenders, door mirrors and front splitter during the cleaning process.

I've spent a bit of time googling for pictures of Mansell's accident or the car up against the barriers while he was extracted but haven't been able to find any.

This is the closest I could find. As commented earlier, I've certainly seen cars in much worse condition crawl their way back to the pits :



Has anyone else seen any pictures online they could share ?



I don't think the issue was the state or condition of the car.......it was more the condition of the driver. Suffering from concussion, I doubt he was up to the task, and I suspect the medics put a stop to any idea he might have had of trying to get the car back to the pits.

I think the real 908 is owned by Mr Deutsch, there was however car claiming to be the McQueen car up for auction last year in the USA.

It was withdrawn following questions raised by Mr Deutsch. The Deutsch car is quite active in historic racing.

There is a website devoted to the car.

Oh, thanks for the info.

And the link........I'll go take a look.

Please, please, please can I ask soneone who is attending the Classic to try and get some stunning pictures of this car?

2010 is also the 40th anniversary of the film « Le Mans » starring famous actor-driver Steve McQueen. Saturday morning a tribute will be made with a parade dedicated to the film with the presence of the Porsche 908/2 Spyder, the car with which the actor excelled with a 2nd place at Sebring in 1970.

Some full vehicle shots, abstract, weird, detail, wonderful, colour, b&w........anyhting really!

Would you consider payment in beer or your preferred tipple?

Am prepared to beg if required.



This car, correct ?:



If so, will keep my peepers open for it on track and in the paddock, etc.


Correct! Much appreciated.

Anyone know who owns it now? And where it currently resides?

I beleive it was for sale / auction back in 2008 sometime.
