The lightweight magnesium car took the lead in the 13th hour and after crossing the finish for the final time it had covered a total distance of 3315 miles at an average speed of 138 miles per hour, both Le mans records. The scene depicts the winning car leading the third placed Ferrari 512M of Posey and Adamovicz and the Attwood and Muller Porsche as they negotiate Mulsanne corner.
