1/18 1988 Le Mans 24hrs Winner (Exoto) - Jaguar XJR9 #2

After four years of trying with previous evolutions, Jaguar took the XJR-9 to victory against Porsche's works 962C in 1988. Apart from a lone Jaguar in fourth, Porsches filled the rest of the top ten. The Sauber-Mercedes team withdrew prior to the event following concerns over blowouts from their Michelin tires. The race covered a distance of 5,332.97 km, the most distance covered in any of the Le Mans 24 hours races, except 1971 when the Martini Racing Team Porsche 917K covered 5,335.313 km in 397 laps. Those records would however be broken over 20 years later in the 2010 24 Hours of Le Mans, when the #9 Audi R15 TDI plus of Joest Racing (under the name Audi Sport North America) tied the record for the number of laps around the Le Mans circuit (at 397 laps) and, due to its changing course configurations (such as the Mulsanne straight chicanes), set an outright distance record of 5,410.7 km over the 13.629-km course configuration.

This was the second-to-last 24 hour race without chicanes on the Mulsanne straight, and Team WM Peugeot had prioritised breaking the speed record that year. With special tires and taped-over air intakes, the WM P88 managed to reach a top speed of 407 km/h (253 mph) at the end of the Mulsanne straight.
