Kind of pumped for the 24h of Le Mans next year. There's going to be a pretty big surge of compeition with the new rules based on what is basically a new class of "works" teams, or LMDh.

FERRARI will be making it's big return in the LMH class with the Ferrari 499p

The first 24h of Le Mans was run in 1923.

- A field of twenty manufacturers entered, all from France except for a Bentley from Great Britain and a pair of Excelsiors from Belgium.
- All cars had to be standard 4-seater production models, except those under 1100cc which could be 2-seaters where at least thirty cars had been built.
- The vehicle had to carry 60kg lead ballast for each passenger space aside from the driver.
- A maximum of two drivers were allowed (but not riding together), and they alone could replenish the fluids (petrol, oil and water), although there was no minimum distance between refills as in later years.
- Engines had to be turned off at pit-stops, and only re-started with an onboard starter.
- All cars had to have standard touring equipment, such as wheel wings, hood, running boards, headlights, a rear-view mirror and horn.
- None of the entered cars had window-wipers
- winning car was a Chenard-Walcker Type U3
- TOTAL MILES covered in the race by winning car: 1,372 (today they cover 3,200+)
