My CommentI have not seen this movie yet... still stapled with the other "to watch" DVDs.

So I will describe, rate and add screenshots as soon as I have seen it.

In short: Jaguar's successes from 1953 to 1957, Le Mans 1988 and 1990, and Formula One in 2000.

This programme charts the long awaited return of Jaguar to Le Mans in 1980's.
1984: Jaguar teamed up with the American Group 44 team who designed and produced a sports racing car around the Jaguar V12 engine. Two cars were entered for the 1984 race but both failed to finish.
1985: In 1985 a Group 44 car managed to finish the race in thirteenth place, winning the GTP category, the first time in twenty-two years that a Jaguar had been classified as a finisher. Following the success of Tom Walkinshaw and his TWR Racing Team which dominated the European Touring Car Championship with the Jaguar XJS, TWR were given the task of designing a sports racing car to win Le Mans for Jaguar.
