Le Mans 24 Hours, 19-20 June 1982: On the way to their 1982 Le Mans victory Jacky Ickx/Derek Bell bettered their previous year’s lap total by adding an extra five laps (both years were run in favourably dry and warm weather), posting a distance of 4,899.086 kilometres at an average speed of 204.129 km/h. Despite these improved figures, the Porsche team had to run a closely calculated race as the fuel restrictions were ever-present in the minds of the team’s management. © Corporate Archives Porsche AG
