Andy Wallace, Le Mans winner outright for Jaguar in 1988, was on the podium again at the famous circuit this weekend as a record grid of 65 pre-1966 racing Jaguars took part in the Le Mans Classic round of the Jaguar Classic Challenge.

Wallace, whose '88-winning XJR-9 wowed the crowds during the 100-strong Jaguar parade lap which preceded the race, finished third overall in the Jaguar Classic Challenge and won his class racing a 1955 D-type. Julian Thomas won the race outright in his 1962 low-drag E-type.

Also part of the 100-strong parade before the race were Jaguar's one-off Le Mans prototype, XJ13, and a dozen examples of its latest and fastest production car, the 575PS, 200mph F-TYPE SVR created by Jaguar's Special Operations division.
