Rondeau
M382

Why it matters

The M382 was built by Jean Rondeau's small Le Mans-based team. Ultimate Carpage notes that Rondeau's 1980 Le Mans win is the only one by a driver in a car of his own making.

Production

Every figure says what it counts.

Independent counts (e.g. engine and colour) are never combined into a calculated figure. Surviving examples are never presented as original production.

History

The M382 raced in the 1982 sports prototype (GTP and Group C) season. At Daytona in January 1982, the Belcher Racing car retired and the Golden Eagle Racing car retired with a fuel system failure. At Monza on 18 April 1982, the Automobiles Jean Rondeau entry of Pescarolo and Francia won the 1000 km. Other 1982 results include second at the Nürburgring 1000 km, fifth at Silverstone and Spa, and three retirements at Le Mans.
