24 Hours at Le Mans
Reporter Jack Pizzey follows the fortunes of two British entrants in the 24-hour race at Le Mans, 1981. One was Guy Edwards, former Grand Prix driver who made the headlines when he rescued Niki Lauda from a blazing wreck in 1976. He became one of the most successful businessmen-drivers on the road racing circuit. The other was Alain de Cadenet, who, with little backing, made 11 attempts and was dedicated to winning Le Mans. First broadcast 13 July 1982
24 Hours at Le Mans airs on BBC Four HD at 11:40 PM, Tuesday 29 July. (Subtitles.)
