๐ซ๐ท 1990 24 Hours of Le Mans
The 58th Grand Prix d'Endurance des 24 Heures du Mans (1990 24 Hours of Le Mans) took place on June 16โ17, 1990, at the Circuit de la Sarthe.
It was a landmark event in endurance racing history, featuring significant track updates and intense competition among factory teams.
Key Highlights & Context
The Track Modification:
1990 marked the first year that two chicanes were added to the iconic Mulsanne Straight (Ligne Droite des Hunaudiรจres) to comply with FIA rules capping maximum speeds and improving driver safety. ๐ญ๐ญ
Factory Showdown:
The race featured a major battle among Group C machinery, notably between Jaguar, Nissan, Porsche, Toyota, and Mazda. Mercedes-Benz withdrew prior to the event due to rule changes regarding world championship points.
Famous Pole Lap:
Mark Blundell set a legendary pole position lap time of 3:27.020 in the #24 Nissan R90CK. During the qualification run, an overboost issue resulted in estimated engine output surpassing 1,000 hp.ย

The 2003 Mobil 1 Grand Prix de France was the 10th round of the 2003 Formula One World Championship, held on July 6, 2003, at the Circuit de Nevers Magny-Cours.ย
It was a dominant weekend for Williams-BMW, who secured a lights-to-flag 1โ2 victory.ย
๐ Podium & Highlights
๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ช Ralf Schumacher (Williams-BMW) started on pole and lead every lap.
๐ฅ ๐จ๐ด Juan Pablo Montoya (Williams-BMW) Finished +13.813s behind his teammate and recorded the fastest lap of the race (1:15.512).ย
๐ฅ ๐ฉ๐ช Michael Schumacher (Ferrari) โ Finished +19.568s back to claim the final step on the podium.ย
Ralf Schumacher held onto the lead off the line. Kimi Rรคikkรถnen made a strong getaway from 4th, jumping Michael Schumacher for 3rd position into Turn 1.
Rubens Barrichello spun across the line at the end of lap 1, dropping him to the back of the grid before fighting his way back up to 7th.ย
Michael Schumacher managed to leapfrog both McLaren drivers through the pit stop cycles, regaining 3rd position.
Both Renaults of Jarno Trulli and Fernando Alonso retired mid-race due to engine issues.
Championship Impact:
With back-to-back victories for Ralf Schumacher (having also won the European GP a week prior), the Drivers' Championship battle closed up significantly.
Michael Schumacher retained his championship lead over Kimi Rรคikkรถnen, but the Williams drivers narrowed the gap substantially as the season reached its midpoint.ย

Qualifying - 8th
Race - 7th
Kubica drove a competitive race, running comfortably in the points and battling closely with Rubens Barrichello for 6th place.
With roughly 15 laps remaining, Kubica suffered a puncture, forcing an unexpected pit stop that dropped him back down to 13th place.
Armed with fresh tires, Kubica put on a masterclass in overtaking on the unforgiving street circuit, slicing through traffic to pass six cars in the closing laps and cross the finish line in a hard-fought 7th position.
Clip shows two of the overtakes and you will probably notice he isnโt even holding the steering wheel with both hands all the time ๐คฏ

Race - Lap 150 while recovering to 2nd the oil pump failed.
The First Attempt:
A small cup/container of soapy water was thrown onto the screen, which worked reasonably well.ย
On the next lap, a mechanic threw an entire bucket of water as the car sped past pit lane at around 150โ200 km/h.ย
The high-speed impact of 10 kg of water hit the windscreen, immediately smashing and shattering the glass.
Mezera saw the mechanic waiting with the bucket and luckily managed to snap his helmet visor down just before impact, avoiding flying glass shards.ย
