The Triumph team were racing modified versions of the TR4S and they’d cross the finish line in 4th, 5th and 6th place for their class (11th, 12th and 13th overall), the field of entries at Le Mans in 1961 was extraordinary and some of the most iconic drivers and teams of the mid-20th century would do battle shoulder to shoulder over the course of the 24 hour event.
