It was the first year for the works 962 ( Yes I know Preston Henn ran one the year before but that was a turbo-charged hybread - not quite the real thing ) which was also beaten by Richard Lloyds 956.
The Joest car was the very same chassis that had won the race the previous year ( I reckon you could have blind folded the drivers - the car knew its way around the place so well!)
