This
gallery contains images from the Le Mans 24 Hours 2005, June
14th-19th. It was a remarkable week for RML and an even more
remarkable result. Thwarted by the weather in qualifying,
and then dogged by minor gremlins throughout the race, the
team showed heroic reserves of determination and resilience
to come through against misfortune and the odds to clinch
victory in LMP2 during the final hour
