[@KasperViggoJensen]

I found this video for my father who was there too. Drove the #90 URD. I love watching these videos because I was too young to experience it.

Une époque formidable les années 80/90 étaient géniales, le groupe C m'a laissé un grand souvenir, ça allait vite et les voitures étaient ❤❤❤❤ belles

So cool John! My father, Paco Romero, was actually one of the 3 drivers for John Fitzpatrick alongside Philippe Alliot and Michel Trollé. The team had two cars, did you happen to work with my father?

My first Le Mans .. Such great memories. This is the best quality video I have seen of the race. I remember sitting on the ledge that hangs above the pitlane - right above the Jaguar team for most of the night. It was awesome - we were so close to the action. Would be unthinkable today. Thanks for posting !

Great memories, except for Jo Gartner

My third Le Mans, went early to see scrutineering, practice and qually as well as the race. In 84 we went on an organised tour, 85 took a caravan and stayed at the circuit, 86 we hired a gite about an hour away. This year was my 36 th visit, yikes, 12 fabulous days .

good good

[@Rmcaw]

This was the last year of the truly great Circuit de la Sarthe. no chicane at Dunlop or on Mulsanne. What I would pay to see this version of the track again.

[@misteriosyrarezas5253]

Nop was 1989

[@Rmcaw]

@@misteriosyrarezas5253 1989 was the last race without chicances on Mulsanne, but in 1987 they added a chicane at Dunlop, so as was the point of my original comment, 1986 was the last great circuit where the first half of the whole course was nearly flat out.

[@eins2001]

I was born a few months prior, so this running of Le Mans is special to me

[@truepatriotlove5724]

Thank you for posting this great video. Unfortunately, DVD’s of Le Mans races are not available here in North America

[@AndyS63]

It’s amazing to see how much development has taken place on the Mulsanne straight. 1985 was my first Le Mans missed this year due to work.

[@turboslag]

Fcuking brilliant, a joy to watch! Makes me feel old though, as I was there, just as a spectator. I even still have the Rothmans publicity posters of the works Porsches! Also, I took pics of the burnt out 961.

[@thomashumber9762]

thanks for this..

[@johnmurray7419]

The parachute guy... nice touch down 😂

[@juanpablocastano2192]

34 years, it's only been 34 years and you can see how there was no advertising or any of that marketing crap. Like I know they had that back then but my sweet Jesus how it is today.

[@DubioserAltschauerberger1510]

0:59 stuck looks like Jeff Daniels haha

[@RidinDirtyRollinBurnouts]

Seeing the GT40 caught me off guard. Maybe it was a lineup of Le Mans winners over the years?

[@eins2001]

Of entries over the year, yeah. To show the progress.

01:00 Pescarolo. He never won anything but was on every le Mans and Paris Dakar

[@marks7197]

Pescarolo never won anything??? Apart from 4 outright LeMans wins, 2 other class wins and a Daytona 24hr overall title on top of several sportscar and F2 wins...

[@paulreilly3904]

​@@marks7197 exactly, well said. Le Grande Pesca, one of the most successful drivers..

[@LJW1912]

I see that people, even back then, moaned about how the Mulsanne was better
