Le Mans 24 hours 1976



A "Le Mans GTP" car (!), despite looking a Group 4. Lombardi and Dacremont finished 20th.
Fourth overall for the works Porsche 935 of Schurti and Stommelen.
The turbo CSL BMW, a pretty useless car for a 24 hour race; it usually ate its transmission within an hour. 23 laps for Gregg and Redman. Tenth overall for the Faltz CSL of Posey, de Fierlant and Grohs.
Yet another retirement for the Schnitzer car of Quester, Krebs and Peltier. Walkinshaw, Fitzpatrick and Blackburn retired early, even before the Turbo...
Brock, Muir and Aubriet raced this '75 BMW with a big front spoiler. They retired. Part of the BMW brigade.
Kremer brought its own 935; it retired.
Keyser and Wachs retired this IMSA Chevrolet Monza.

Greenwood did likewise with his giant Corvette.
