86 Stats in 86 Days Until 86th 24 Hours of Le Mans – Day 14, Birth Months for Winners (April 4, 2018)

The 86th annual 24 Hours of Le Mans is 73 days away! This is the 14th day of the 86 Stats in 86 Days Until the 86th 24 Hours of Le Mans.

Each day from now until the Friday before the 24 Hours of Le Mans, we’ll post a list of stats related to the race. Some are well-known statistics, while others are a little more in-depth.

Here is a look at the months in which an overall race winner was born. January and April have the most of the 129 race winners researched, each with 15. Four* drivers – Rene Leonard, Andre Rossignol, (Henry) Gerard de Courcelles and Robert Bloch – were not included in this research and thus the list would be slightly different in the account these drivers’ birthdates are found and added (the most being 19 in a given month and no fewer than eight in a given month). However, no month has produced less than eight drivers that have gone on to win the race.
