Notes and references
^ The 1979 victory is listed with Porsche, although the car, a Kremer K3 (or 935 K3), was built by Kremer on a Porsche 930 chassis sourced from Porsche, fitted with a Porsche Typ 935/80 engine, used in the 935/78.
^ The 1994 victory is listed with Porsche, although Dauer Sportwagen was the official constructor of the road car. The car, a Dauer 962 Le Mans , was heavily modified from a customer Porsche 962 chassis for street use and race homologation .
^ The 1996 and 1997 victories are listed with Porsche, although the car was built by TWR on a modified Jaguar XJR-14 chassis, fitted with a Porsche 962 engine.
^ This had gone unnoticed until 2018, when documents verifying the identity of the real winner was discovered by Ferrari Classiche. 0814 had long been identified as the winner of the 1963 race when it was badly damaged in a practice accident at the Nürburgring one month prior to Le Mans. This car was submitted to enter the race, not 0816 when it was still being repaired throughout, according to factory documentation. Rather than submitting new paperwork for a replacement entry, the Scuderia sent 0816 to Le Mans under 0814’s identity.
^ 19 victories, 18 second positions and 17 third positions.
^ 5 second positions and 1 third position.
^ 2 second positions and 1 third position.
^ He entered 12 times but raced for 2 different cars in 1973 and 1977.
^ He became the first and only man to drive solo for the entire distance, despite having a co-driver in the pits ready to take over. He completed 236 laps, which equals to nearly 3,200 km (2,000 miles).
^ He won Le Mans with his son Jean-Louis Rosier who raced just 2 laps.
^ Ferrari in 1972, 1973, 1977, 1978 and 1998 Matra in 1974, Ligier in 1975, Mirage in 1976, De Cadenet in 1979 and 1980, Rondeau in 1981 and 1982, Ford in 1983, Lola in 1984, WM in 1986 and 1987, Courage/Cougar in 1988 and 1991, ALD in 1990, Porsche in 1993, Dodge in 1994, Marcos in 1995 and 1997, Pilbeam in 2001, Dome in 2002. He could have added a 17th constructor in 1992 (Spice ) but he did not start the race.
^ At the finish, Ford decided to stage publicity photo between Miles/Hulme and McLaren/Amon with the No. 5 following, too. According to witnesses, McLaren left a small margin to Miles and it was expected than Miles/Hulme will be declared winner after the examination of the photo finish. But the ACO declared the McLaren/Amon car had won the race, having covered more distance in 24 hours, as it had started the race several places behind the Miles/Hulme car. The ACO estimated the difference to 8 meters.
^ From 2013, Michelin became the sole supplier of tires for the lead class.
