Playing around with my DVD frame capture software:

I presume that it is a PC program.
Good captures, & resolution

Thanks Curt! Cool pics.

What's the software?

[rs911t]

A truly noble use of too much spare time! Thanks!

[cegerer]

It's PowerDVD and my 30 minute free trial just expired! I guess I'm going to have to pony up for the full version .....

[Jens]

The results are great.

I'm surprised to see rear window wipers on 911 race cars.

How about a capture of the beautiful s steve drives in the beginning?

Great pictures! Funny how Ferrari 512s and Porsche 917s make a small car like a 914 look like and SUV.

wipers?

How bout the pic where he cruises past the French girl as she is buying flowers at the market... and a pic of the crash with the fake Ferrari...

[smarjoram]

Why has he got American style headlights but German plates?

[Jim Garfield]

It was a US spec car that he had shipped to CA after filming.

Very cool, thanks Curt. I cant imagine being one of those 911 drivers back then and seeing the 917LH coming up in my rear view mirror!
It is amazing how big the 917's seem to be until you park a 911 next to them.

Wasn't that part of the allure of Le Mans? I mean, I thought the cars that competed in the race had to have a passenger seat (a purely token gesture inside a 917) and a spare wheel. In essence, it was a romantic theory that these cars were road-capable.

I love all the stuff you see in the background. The Ferrari 275 GTB next to the Ferrari van, the Aston Martin in the first photo. The 911 with the rear wiper is not one of the race cars.

LeMan's races used to have to carry tools & a spare tire to change a flat tire on the track.

My fav though is not here. It's the GT40 Ford street car you see stuck in traffic trying to get into the race. The year before one of it's sister cars had won the race.

[cegerer]

Yeah, I almost did a frame capture of that GT40, but was trying to limit it to 911's only. Very cool!

[Jim Garfield]

That does a great job of capturing images!
