SL should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Sorry but the best drives that I have seen are:-

1 JJ's drive in the wet in the McLaren 10 sec a lap quicker than ANYONE else during the night.
2 Rondou's drive in his own car beating Ickx in a Porsche during the final 2 wet hours (80).
3 Phil & Don's drive in their Porsche after being stranded on the circuit for 45 minutes (79),
4 Bell & Ickx in their Porsche beating the Jags after almost all the other 935's went out in the first two hours.
5 Herbert's win in the Mazda against all odds.

Overall my fav has to be the two Jag wins, seeing the mainly Brit crowd giving a standing ovation (90).

The worst has to be the Laurrari / Brun / Paraja Porsche failing in the last 15 min after being in the top 5 all weekend in an unfancied car, even having the barefaced cheek to put it on pole in the first session, only beaten by a Banzi by Blundell in the second session (90).
