those cars are gathered into run groups to make interesting racing, pretty much by the FIA classifications in effect at the time. there are a lot of interesting cars unrepresented there. for instance - there's no 911RS's.

in the early '70's Porsche was concentrating on achieving their first overall win at Le Mans and you see quite the selection of 917's. all the featured cars at this event represent the very best factory and privateer efforts at the very highest level of international competition at the time.

i think it'd have been great to see the #40 Sonauto car - but maybe it wasn't available, and there are no cars from any of the GT classes represented. the 914/8's were definitely interesting cars -- never competed anywhere. there were many interesting national championships won in 914's, and a 914/6 won the IMSA GTU championship at least once.

but the featured cars are from the upper levels. while the 914.6 was winning GTU, it was getting lapped by the 935's - and there are lots of those present. the 914 has acquitted itself well in the lower rungs of international motorsport, but this is clearly an event for the 'A-List' cars of the time.
