The Finish
27 May 1994
We remember the feeling on this particular day being a rather sombre one. The Ferrari crew, consisting of two Japanese dentists, had died on 24 May 1994, whilst participating in the race, killing two officials. Both officials were good mates.
​
Finally... we have the official race order.

This paper surfaced on 05 December 2011, contributed by Christos Mamalis - Driver of Car 32. Thanks mate.

The cars on this page have now been put in the correct race order they finished in.
