Never been to the race, love to go. It's not far from the UK so I watch these films. Thank you for posting the history.

Amazing! Many thanks for this pearl, never saw quality reportages about "La Ronde Infernale" of 1975. Yes, surely it has been the lower point of interest of Les 24 Heures du Mans of the 70s due the energetic crisis, but anyway this was a race to remember, that saw finally the victory of the Mirage-Cosworth, once her main rivals were gone or way far from the goal (talking of Matra and Lola), but most importantly, this was "The Last Stand" of the legendary J.W. and with him, the Gulf team.

Historical footage, even if it's a 8mm silent movie, and the car noises are from the 1970 Steve Mcqueen Le Mans movie 😉
