I seem to remember reading once that the team took the car back to Japan covered in the Le Sarthe grime - and lacquered over it to retain the 'just finished the race' look - is that true?? If it is then it will look rather grubby!! :-) Actually I am quite excited about this as this was the last race I missed - because our second son was born on the morning of Sunday 23/06/91 (the race was late that year) which was Le Mans Sunday - and he (now nearly 20) will be with team Monkey this year of course. That and it sounds like nothing else!!!  |

Used to kip by the Mulsanne then, would lie there listening as it screamed down the straight. It never seemed to change gear.
At the end of the race they had it on a transporter and to the airport within an hour of the finish.

Never argue with an idiot, they'll only drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

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