That's a great article, thanks!
It's of particular interest because my car was originally owned by Derek Bell. I believe it may have been given to him by Porsche a few months before he won the Le Mans 24hr for the Fifth time.

I wonder what oiling system modifications Raymond Boutinaud made to his engines as the cars did not experience a 2/6 episode during either of the 24 Hour du Mans.

I have read this before, not sure anymore in english or French.
it is interesting how they casually mention boosting the engine to 350hp without giving a clue how; I would love to know that for my motor.
There is a web site or two
http://raymond.boutinaud.free.fr/
http://www.alliancefr.com/boutinaud/pages/index2.htm
the second one with a foto of a 16v 928 motor.
he also raced the 928 at Spa, silverstone & brands hatch; look at http://wsrp.ic.cz/wsc1984.html
I assume it is the same guy? maybe somebody from france could ask him what he did to the motor (if he remembers...)?

In 1983, there was a side exhaust (on the right of the car). In 1984, it was straight at the back of the car.
By the way, it was an S, not an S2.
I hope to see this car in action in the future.
