Le Mans 1969

I found this among my photos from Le Mans 69.
Must be near the last pitstop I reckon.
The winner!!

Loving the patina - great photo. I think the vintage B&W shots are far more evocative.

Note to Tim. I know it's your referendum this year, but are you voting to join the United States? :)

Love them!!! Thanks for posting!

BTW, I too, like the B&W shots, but only because the color prints of the day lacked the degree of contrast that B&W had..
 
Wonderful shot of the 69 Lemans winner, and if you look on you tube there is a 50 minute video of the race with the same car showing much more rubber on the sides at the finish about 100Yds. ahead of Hans Herrman.
Thanks
Cheers

This from Le Mans Classic 2008.
I'll dig out some more 1969 ones (black and white)

Thats a great photo, thanks Tim.

I wonder what Pedro was thinking, after all, he won Le Mans the year before in that very same chassis.

Thanks for posting these Tim, great photos who took them? Just guessing it wasn't you as you were quite young at the time according to your forum age anyway. Your flag is wrong because your location in your user CP is set to Kansas City for some odd reason, if you click on your name, look for UserCP and then Edit Details.
