Who won, the first time you went?
Discussion
I very obviously did not explain my concept very well then!
I figured that everyone remembers their first 24 hours of Le Mans.
I thought it might be fun to recall the drivers (not the team) who one your first Le Mans and post pics of them. Then, it would be interesting to attempt to identify the year in question by recognizing the drivers and figuring out when they won.
Mine (above) could have been one of three years, as the Ickx/Bell partnership triumphed in 75, 81 and 82, so another clue would be that it was not associated with oil or tobacco.
That said, maybe this is way too convoluted to be worthwhile. I just thought it might make a change from speculating whether 2021 will even have a LM24.

Funnily enough 1981 was my first year also, so ditto on the pictures!I figured that everyone remembers their first 24 hours of Le Mans.

Things I remember clearly though; it was hot, BMW M1s, strippers, steins of beer, and sadly the burnt out wreck of the Rondeau by the 24hr cafe after the fatal accident....oh how times have changed

My first year.... and I have included a driver who struggled a bit up against Mr K that year during the night :-)
My first year too - what a year, what a race. Peugeot had it won before it even started, and half of France seemed to turn up after the national side got knocked out of the football. Edited by Great Dane on Sunday 7th February 23:31
Real hare and the tortoise affair. Wonder what happened to all the Peugeot Le Mans winners 2008 t-shirts!?
