Le Mans - the how you get there is not quite as important as being there.

Go to the top of the class.  Those were the days when the F1 guys weren't so soppy...

A pic of the car.


Too true about F1 drivers.

I've always liked the Mk1 Cortina. My dad had one in blue with a 1500 Corsair (I think) engine in it, I can even remember the reg - KRM 569.

Oh, I loved them. It's still a fantasy car for me.  It's one of the things which confirms the standard of the drivers in those days.  The fact that JC could win a gp and a saloon car race (sometimes on the same day!) spoke volumes for his ability.  And Mr Chapman's of course....

Thanks for the pic.  It should go in the "iconic liveries" thread too, I think. 8)
