Comments

This car is a part of danish motorsport history! It was in this car a Dane finally saw the chequered flag at LeMans. And to make it even better it was not only one Dane, because two of the drivers in the car were Danish. And finally - The team behind the car was also Danish!

Number 11 overall was in itself a very good result for the Danish privateers. But in the C2-category the Danes ended up as second, so at their first finish at LeMans they even earned a place at the podium.

Unfortunately this car is also the last car, Lars Viggo Jensen ever competed in. He was driving when the Austrian, Jo Gartner, lost his life in a huge crash at Mulsanne. When Lars Viggo Jensen passed the burning wreck he decided to quit motor racing, which he did instantly.
