This onboard video shows a Porsche 936 lapping Le Mans during qualifying for the 1977 race. You may have 'driven' the track on a games console, or viewed a modern Le Mans as a spectator but seeing the 936 doing 217mph down Mulsanne, without chicanes, is an awesome sight.
And then, at 2 minutes 16 seconds, you're with the driver as he comes up behind two much slower 934s on the fast section headed down to Indianapolis. Easy on an xBox, terrifying when watching it for real. What are the slower cars going to do? They're side by side, when to make the move?
