group 9a: 1974-1989
fia, group 4, 5, c1, c2, and lemans cars
as a kig growing up in europe lemans was the ultimate auto racing event,
and these cars invoke many memories of dreaming about the 24 hour race.
i believe i had several models of these cars sitting around the house
for a while. i stopped watching the sport after i came to the states,
only recently turning back to formula one. frankly, this race was pretty
boring, these cars are so expensive that few owners wanted to risk damaging
them, i saw very little passing, it was more like a parade... i hung
around turn 7 for these shots, and only realized the light was bad when
i got there (there was no time to walk back)
