Le Mans trivia (if there is such as thing)

[racerkeke]

Okay, you Le Mans regulars, I am looking for an answer to the following question. Can you help?

1. When were women first allowed to volunteer as commissaires at Le Mans?

I've only been going since 2004, but I seem to recall a friend who went in the '90s saying she was not permitted to work a poste on Les Hunaudières.

If you've been going for several years, when was the first time you ever saw a female commissaire?

thanks
