Maybe so, maybe not. OK, Mazda won in '91, but even with the huge Nissan and Toyota efforts, they haven't really got close again. When was the last time a Japanese car really pushed for victory?

Toyota in 1999?

Even then they didn't really get close. I would have said '94. It was a crying shame that the Irvine/Martini/Krosnoff Toyota didn't win that race - letting that "imposter" Dauer thing win the greatest race in the world - pah!

I would agree with that, but what I do not understand is that they do so well in the World Rally Championship, and not at Le Mans.

This is tragic....Le Mans without manufacturers??LeMans needs some factory support!!

What a super bad feeling, am I dreaming?
