Two beautifully aerodynamic Jaguars whistle through Turn 9.  Their shape was dictated by the extreme high speeds reached on the Mulsanne straight during the 24 Hours of LeMans.  D-Type Jaguars won that most prestigious of races three times in a row:  1955, 1956, and 1957.

Norman Davis in his 3500cc. 1954 car suffered mechanical woes and finished 26th and last, two laps down.  Lou Sellyei, Jr. finished 17th in his 3800cc. 1955 #3 car.
