This weekend s be mans race is the porsche factory s lint group c world sports car championship Effort for 1988 while Jaguar has competed in Ever championship round winning three races to Sauber Mercedes one. Jaguar has done everything right so far this season including a Victory in the 24 hours of Daytona but until Jaguar wins Al be mans its mis Sion can never be Complete. Despite this weekend s French classic being porsche s first group c run in the championship i would take a Brave Man to bet against the German cars. Porsche has a seven year winning Streak going at be mans the germans unbeaten on the French circuit since 1980 when the late Jean Roundeau and his French countryman Jean Pierre Jaussaud won Ina Rondcau Ford cos world. In last year s race three jaguars challenged three porsche and while two of the porsche were out of action Early one of the Zuffo Hausen 962cs remained to Battle the three jaguars for the next 22 hours. And at the finish it was the Lone porsche driven by England s Derek Bell the German Hans stuck and the american Al Holbin thai took the Check ered Flag. The Jaguar team promised to be Back next year and so it is with its Drivers convinced that this year it is finally their turn to win and return Jaguar to its glory Days of the 1950s when the British cars won inl95l, 53, 55, 56and s7. But porsche has the Edge where driving experience is concerned with its no. I entry featuring Bell stuck and Klaus Ludwig. The englishman Bell has won five limes at be mans and if he come through on sunday he will stand equal with Bel Gium s Jacky icky the Only Man to win the classic six times. Germany s Ludwig meanwhile has won the to mans race three times and stuck has two Victo Ries there so this is a formidable team indeed. An interesting sidelight concerns another porsche factory 962c, this one to be driven by three Andrel Lis Mario his son Michael and his Nephew John. If Mario should take the Check ered hag on sunday he will be the Only Driver in Moio sports history Mohave won the formula one world driving championship the Indianapolis 500, be mans and the Nas car Daytona Soo. The Andretti Trio s top All american opposition talc mans will come from the factory entered Jaguar driven by Danny Sullivan Davy Jones and Price Cobb. Of the five jaguars entered the no. 1 Chal Lenge to porsche will probably come from the car driven by sex formula one Ace Martin Brundle of England and the Dane John Nielsen who has been performing brilliantly aboard the British cars this season. It is interesting to note that porsche leads in total victories at be mans with 12, while Ferrari comes next with 9, Jaguar and Bentley with 5 each Alfa Romeo and Ford with 4 each Malra Simca with 3, Bugatti and la Lorraine with 2 each. Marques with one Victory each include Aston Martin Chenard Delahaye Gulf Mirage Lagonda Mercedes Benz Renault Alpine Rondeau and Talbot Lago. For details on starting time etc., see where to go this  moving to formula one racing this sunday s Canadian grand prix Al Montreal Mark the fifth round in the world driving championship and it goes without saying that the Mclaren Honda team is heavily favored to win. Twice world Cham Pion Alain pros of France will probably take the Check ered Flag if he gets the Best Start and if not then his brazilian teammate Aynon Senna will take it. Going into the Canadian round Prosi has three victories and Senna has one. Hopefully some other team will win in Canada just to charge things up a bit on the formula one scene but at this stage it appears that Mclaren will win every race this year Ferrari perhaps could Sal Vage something from the 1988 Campaign but even that is beginning to look doubtful.
