1980s Le Mans
I've been looking through the entry lists for Le Mans in the '80s recently - yes, my life is that action-packed - and a few features strike me as being very different from more modern Le Mans.
1) Teams seemed either to field LOTS of cars (three or more, especially works teams) or else a single car; not that many 'regular' two-car teams.
2) It was fairly common for teams to field more than one kind of car; frequently, for example, a team would field a new Spice or Tiga or whatever and a year-old car. Sometimes teams would field two entirely different cars.
3) There were, of course, only two major classes for most of the 1908s - C1 and C2 - with occasional interlopers like the Mazdas running as GTPs.
Any thoughts?
