Anyone has a clue who was the oldest driver that ever scored an overall win at Le Mans?

The best guess is Graham Hill who I think would have been 50ish when he won in 72

just checked, Hill was 'only' 43, still pretty old granted but I doubt he was the oldest winner.

Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

Without consulting the web or books I'm gonna go with "Pappy" Jean Pierre Jaussaud. I think he was around 43 or so when he won with Jean Rondeau in 1980.
