Andy Wallace, Le Mans winner outright for Jaguar in 1988, was a winner again at the La Sarthe circuit this weekend as 65 racing Jaguars took to the track in the Le Mans Classic round of the Jaguar Classic Challenge.

Wallace, whose '88‑winning XJR‑9 wowed the crowds during a 100‑strong Jaguar parade lap which preceded the race, finished third overall and won his class racing a D‑type, while 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.
