Is it about the wheel nut scandal in the early 1960s that drove Colin Chapman away from Le Mans for good?

Yep. Well done Victor. From Wikipedia...

At the 1963 Le Mans, Lotus entered the new, and somewhat unfinished, Lotus 23, a widened version of the Lotus 22 two-seater. It was disqualified from competition before the race and did not take part. This was on the basis of its wheels, although not specifically due to the wobbly-web design. The car, as designed, used Lotus' typical 6-stud wheel at the rear but a 4-stud mounting at the front. The wheel rims were also wider at the rear, 6" vs. 5", with wider tyres of 5.50×13 rather than 4.50×13. As the rules for Le Man were still framed as a "sports car" endurance race, they required the carrying of a spare wheel. The 23 had such a spare, but obviously it could not be fitted to both ends of the car. The scrutineers rejected this and barred the car from competition. Matching 4-stud rear hubs were flown hurriedly from England, avoiding the incompatibility problem, but the scrutineers now objected that if 6 studs had been required before, 4 must be inadequately strong and still refused to allow the cars to compete. After this, Chapman replied "We shall never again race at Le Mans.", a promise that Lotus kept until 1997, long after Chapman's death in 1982.

Definitely Derek Warwick, and he looks really young... 1983?

EDIT: Damn, forgot the point of the game. Never mind, and I'm at work so I can't search for new pics.

Lol, D'oh! Yeah Derek Warwick - I don't know much in terms of earlier periods - and can't make out the number on the Peugeot, so hoping putting Warwick in is a reasonable assumption!

And what was Mr Warwick driving at La Sarthe in '83?



Shark fins at LM down the years would be an interesting tangent.

We were there on the wednesday for a small ten-tenths meet, saw the car around the back and the hotel owner let us have a good look at the car and then we went around to the front where Derek Bell was having breakfast, said hello and sat down for a beer or two, Derek came over after his breakfast and spoke and we then had a look at his new bentley and the old one, he then had a look at a certain NSX which by then had joined us. A very plesent way to spend a morning

Perhaps not quite as good an angle as the one Simon will have got, but this might keep you going for a little while...
