Save for a little incident known as the Second World War, the 24 Hours of Le Mans has run every year since 1923. And although there are many endurance races on the calendar, winning the iconic race is a sure way to make ensure car and drivers make it into the history books.

Thanks to the oil crises of the 1970s, new rules were introduced for the 1976 running of the 24 Hours of Le Mans—the most significant being that all cars needed to be capable of at least 7 mpg. A side effect of the rulings was that a number of factory teams pulled out.
