Need to do a review on the 1996 race. The first appearance of the Porsche 911 GT1, First Le mans win for a WSC Prototype, 3rd win for privateer Team Joest, youngest winner in Le Mans histroy (Alexander Wruz), Last appearance of Honda/Acura at Le Mans with the NSX, Last appearance of Nissan Skyline, First appearance of the Viper GTS-R, The ELF Courage Porsche with the ALL FRENCH driver line up of Henri Pescarolo, Emmanuel Collard, Frank Lagorce, First competitive showing of the Ferarri 333SP piloted by a all Belgian driver line up, the spectacular decline of McLaren due to their glass fragile gearboxes.
