The Real Car
The real BMW 3.5 CSL #43 drove in the Group 5 class (also called the "Silhouette" class) on the legendary circuit of Circuit de la Sarthe during the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 1976.
The Class (Group 5): This regulation gave manufacturers enormous freedom. As long as the car retained the baselines of the production model, the body was allowed to be expanded extremely wide with huge wheel arches and giant wings (hence the well-known nickname of this car: the "Batmobile").
The Circuit: The 24-hour race was held on the iconic French long-distance circuit in Le Mans. The team had a dramatic end; after starting from the 16th place, the striking green Gösser Beer car had to give up in the 12th hour because of a motorcycle fire
