Wendlinger spun the car into the tyres at the Dunlop Bridge, #31 then having several changes of nose during the balance of the 24 hours, finally coming home fifth.<BR> <BR> Schlesser, Mass and Alain Ferte had looked the likely winners until their car famously overheated and handed victory to the Herbert, Weidler and Gachot Mazda. The young Germans in #31 showed that they had a lot to learn as regards winning Le Mans, but they were consistently the fastest crew on the track. They gave their car some awful stick for 24 hours, but it was the only C11 to finish.</FONT></TD></TR> </TABLE><BR> </CENTER> <BR><CENTER><font size="1" color="#808080" face="Tahoma">Copyright ©2000-©2023 TotalMotorSport</font></CENTER> </td> </tr> </table> </body>
