Okay....Can't argue with anybody on the list thus far. The next 19 should be great stuff. Personally I love seeing Barnato get his due, greater driver who piloted fantastic cars (still the fastest trucks in Europe in fact) Also nice to see Carrol Shelby on there. With all the flack he takes these days the truth is he was a great driver who drove a great race, even if Moss did provide most of excitement wearing the Italians out in the process. It's a shame Salvadori can't be listed alongside Shelby though...LeMans really is a team effort.

#1. Jackie Ickx - 6 wins, including that incredible last win by a GT-40 by only a few car lengths.

I think it will either be Ickx or Tom Kristensen (7 Wins) in the top spot.

This list has not been updated. Not sure why.

This has dragged on long enough that I've lost interest.
