Lets see…. Deacent Deacent deacent deacent (clarkson is added) good good good good (hammond and may) great great great great, best best best (you know who is added) good except for the parts with evans

The apex will be the Jeremy trio…

the 787 b and the ford gt will always be the true legends of Le Mans for me :3

787b is my favorite car of all time, nothing can beat it’s sexiness ;)

Actually I prefer Mclaren F1, the finest car in the world, which was as fast as actual race cars :)

does anyone else think that by looks alone the Mclaren F1 looks out of date? Its similar to the M1 more than the Bentley or the 787…..probably because its a road car not a race car
