I wasn't sure about the 1967 cars, and obviously knew nothing about the Mirages of the '70s, lol, and I couldn't remember the chassis builder of the 1994 car.
The Mirages of the 70's were qucik cars, powered by the Ford DFV Formula 1 engine. There is a book by John Horseman (John Wyer's Team Manager) called "Racing in the Rain". It is a good read for history of Lemans from the Early 60's through the late 70's.
i just realized i didn't put the 2007 Zytec
Nice answers there guys. I wish the Peugots would come over for Petit LeMans this year. I'd buy the best tickets to see that battle.
