For me, the respect I have for the drivers at Le Mans is simply that driving long stints over 24 hours, and punishing the mechanical components, AND driving racing speeds in the dark with Lucas 7" headlamps, and maybe a couple of Cibies, is not something I would want to do.

These guys are heroes. In a Morgan, (and cars like the MGA, and B, it would have been torture.

Finishing that race is a credit to race prep, and the drivers.

And doing it in a 200mph Porsche 917? Well....
