Right, I've finally found the piece I was looking for - it was Autosport's '95 report. Bell matched Lehto's pace in the dry on sunday without 'driving on the limit'. So, pretty impressive, but not the same as matching JJ in the wet! Apologies for that one.
Another great solo effort at Le Mans would have to be Sommer's '32 win - 21 hours. He, according to the Le Mans timings, also set the fastest lap the following year, when his co-driver was a certain Tazio Nuvolari.
