As a race / event it was, at best, tepid. What it did for me, however, was open up the memory vaults.
Now I can fully remember, for example, Schumacher's early evening stints from 1991 and Jag's 2,3,4 finish from that year.
The sound of a 956/962 flat six is clear in my mind. Add to this, Nissan's immense 1990 assault.
Everything, as they say, came flooding back. This is all I wanted from the Group C "race".
Folk raved about Herbert's 787B pre-race demo' - 1 car!
I viewed Saturday's event less of a race and more as multiple demo' runs by a variety of cars.
