H16 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Joest Porsche VS Factory Porsche

Remember 1985? The Joest team beat the factory team at Le Mans with a 956. Was it a straight fight, or did the factory team have problems? I can't imagine a privateer in an older car beating the factory straight out.

Also, how was this recieved in the Porsche camp? Were they bitter that a factory car didn't win or did they take the attitude that it was still very much a Porsche victory?

Sorry, I wasn't around to watch the races in 1985...
