In 1957 Hugh Langrishe travelled to France with the Ecurie Ecosse motor racing team for the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Hugh was given the job of keeping times and lap charts for all of the Ecosse Jaguars. In this film Hugh shares with us some of his unique experiences from Le Mans and his close friendship with Ecurie Ecosse driver, Ron Flockhart.

Thanks to you all for making SMMC such a great organisation that I hope you, like myself, are proud to be part of.
