Date: June 23, 1991 - Following a grueling 21-hour fight with Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar, and only three hours before the end, Johnny Herbert took the lead for the first time… and didn’t surrender it until the end. Which meant that the 250,000 spectators at the event witnessed the rotary-engined monster cross the finish line. (Info from Top Gear website)
