Good stuff! The pre-chicane Mulsanne never ceases to amaze with it's stupendous speed along there. I like the touch of opposite lock out of Arnage too. Very cool.

Definately not a 917 though - more likely a 956/62

Great vid. Makes you appreciate the engineering required to make it last for 24 hours.

It s from 'In Car 956' which is available from Duke Marketing, Amazon etc etc

Derek Bell driving. My fav bit is leaving the old pits which were unbelievably narrow and busy.

The lap of the Nordschliefe is, I recall, pretty cool too.

Top 6 videos with Le Mans coverage (no particular order) -
* Speed Merchants - covers the entire 1972(?) series, just fantastic
* Le Mans movie
* La Ronde Infernale - free on motorsport a while back - 1969 race with Ickx walking to his car in protest
* Speed Tribe - loud music and lots of rain from 2001
* A Long Drive in the Country - a history of Le Mans - great footage from '20s through to '90s
* McLaren @ Le Mans - 1995, JJ Lehto in the rain in the F1, great story, great footage, great memories.

My first Le Mans; what a year to choose! A fabulous race and because of that drive in the rain at night, JJ is an absolute God in my book
