One of the most prestigious and grueling racing events held is the Le Mans 24 Hour Endurance Race. It has brought excitement and pleasure to motorsports enthusiasts worldwide, ever since it was first held in 1923. In spite of its exceptionally short developing period of only 8 months, the Porsche 911 GT1 gained respectable second and third places in the 1996 Le Mans event, bringing motorsport glory back again to Porsche.
