 Until recently, there was no confirmation of who was driving or what  car he was driving. Over the years, various sources claimed an F1  driver was at the wheel of a Le Mans Matra 675, Ferrari 275 GTB, or  an Alpine A110. However, Claude Lelouch (qv) confirmed on his  official website in March 2006 that he was driving, and it was a 6.9  litre Mercedes.
