Bentley Wins At Le Mans

History was made at the Le Mans 24 Hour race, with Bentley Speed Eights coming first and second – the first time since 1930 that Bentley has been on the podium. Guy Smith drove the car over the finishing line – the first time he had finished a Le Mans race, in contrast to team-mate Tom Kristensen, for whom this year’s victory made it four in a row. The drivers paid tribute to the Michelin tyres, saying that they “played a big part”.
