Enjoy a lap of the Circuit de la Sarthe with 1955 Le Mans winner Mike Hawthorne driving the legendary Jaguar D-Type. The following year, a few days before the race, a British broadcaster put cameras on Hawthorne's car, hung a mic from a plate on his race suit and had him narrate a lap of the famous circuit.
It's a fabulous video which includes maneuvers to avoid cyclists, pedestrians and cars, and gems like letting us know that doing 185 miles per hour down the Mulsanne Straight was where you could "relax a little, recover your energy."
