At the 1979 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Ferrari 512 BB/LM #61 entered by Team Beurlys and driven by Nicolas Faure (FRA), Bert De Dryver (BEL), Simon O’Rourke (GB), and team owner/driver Jean Beurlys (FRA) delivered a solid performance to finish 12th overall in one of endurance racing’s deepest fields. Faure and De Dryver brought measured pace and experience in GT machinery, O’Rourke added grit through long stints at night, and Beurlys — both team leader and driver — helped keep the big, front-engined Ferrari running smoothly over the demanding 24-hour marathon. What made the 1979 Le Mans particularly unique compared with many other races was its transition era of sports-car competition, where traditional GT cars like the 512 BB/LM mixed with cutting-edge prototypes on the long Circuit de la Sarthe, demanding not just speed but mechanical reliability, night driving skill, and traffic management in a way that few sprint or single-class events could match.
