Nordic should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I am not sure how you can say there has ever been a bad winner of Le Mans. All the cars start with the same chance of winning, so what if a car starts 19th on the grid, maybe if the other 'faster' or 'more complete' cars ahead on the grid had put more thought into running the race, then one of them would have won.


Even the Dauer 962 had to overcome the might of Toyota to win, in some respects that makes it a great car.

What you can say they have been winners who have beneifted from others being involved in crashes of other cars, and some cars that should not have been alllowed on the entry list (Dauer), but even that car was within the rules, just not the sprit. (A bit like the MC12)
