The third-time-lucky Big Cat that roared to Le Mans victory
Jaguar's hopes of Le Mans success in 1987 were dashed by reliability woes. Refining its package into the XJR-9, the #2 entry wrestled with a gearbox hellbent on self-destruction to claim endurance racing's crown jewel for the 'Big Cat' in 1988
Competing in - and winning - the Le Mans 24 Hours truly explores the very definition of the word "endurance".
Drivers must endure interrupted, sparse sleep patterns to persist around the La Sarthe circuit with hawk-like focus. Mechanics must endure a diet of coffee and chocolate bars and make any ad-hoc fixes to cars - which, itself, must endure an entire day of uninterrupted running and lashings of punishment from the rotating cast of drivers piloting it.
