Definitely 1999 (because of the teams in game, and the suspense of the race), but :
- 1994 had a great finish for the 2nd and 3rd places...
- 1995 was close from the happiness for Wolleck and Andretti

Tricky one, rd. Tempted to say '99, but I've plumped instead for '95. Despite the weather a great race between the KKK and Harrods McLarens with the Courage playing catch-up. Some fantastic driving during that race, notably by the great J.J. Lehto and my own personal favourite, Andy Wallace. So '95 gets my vote.

[and never '94. I couldn't vote for a race won by a car which shouldn't have been allowed an entry in the first place!].

I'm split on this decision. From the coverage I would say the 1999 event, but I like the 2000 event as it was the first time I saw some of the race LIVE on tv.

You're vote seems doesn't appear in the poll... there's nothing for 1995...

What was the problem with the Dauer Porsche entry ?

I have to admit that, except the end (2nd and 3rd), 1994 wasn't a great race... this is the "slack" years...

Ayse : a message for you beeing host : I posted a thread (Performance comparaisons) that doesn't seem to interrest a lot (no answer, maybe I'm not understandable )... if you want to take it off, please do...

1995, great driving and good entry was the best for me.
1999, the entry promised more but to me seemed to fall a bit flat.

I voted 1995 - but 1999 came pretty close (I would'nt call any of them 'Great' compared to several races I saw in the 70's or 80's) - best ones for me - 71, 74, 78 and 88

2001. I'm just being ornery, and backing up the other voter, whoever they might be.

I would have gone 1999, which was a superb race, but for me 2001 had that little extra something (and my tent is waterproof).

Now, that certain extra little something. I'm trying to place it.... something green.... with a winged "B" on the bonnet....
