Climb onboard the legendary Matra 670 with Henri Pescarolo as he recently drove the Matra once again to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the first of three consecutive victories at Le Mans.

On June 16, four Matras took to the track, driven by Pescarolo, Gerard Larrousse, Jean-Pierre Jabouille and Josh Hill, grandson of Graham Hill.



The shreik of the 12 cylinder, three-litre Matra motor at high revs remains one of the best in motorsport.

Pescarolo also celebrated the 40th anniversary of his maiden win at Le Mans. “Pesca” won Le Mans four times (1972-73-74-84) and holds the record for a greatest number of starts as a driver with 34 between 1966 and 1999.
