Hey thanks, that means a lot!
I'm going from memory of things I've read from the past, but when it seems a bit dubious or if I think I might have misremembered (the Matra gearbox story, for example, or the dead bugs showing the 917's lack of downforce), I'll do a quick Google search to see if I can find some reliable sources. What I'm using for race results is this great site, while I'm also relying a bit on wikipedia articles.
I'm also planning on re-reading this excellent book by Peter Morgan for the 1980's Group C period. I think he also wrote one on the 917 that's just as good, but I haven't found a copy yet.
I'll admit my love of Le Mans has mainly come through my love of Porsches but you're right, every team small or large would have plenty of stories like this. It's an amazing and cruel race.
A used one, any generation will do. (Although I wouldn't recommend the tip-tronics)
In the meantime Peter Morgan's books on the 917 and 956/962 are both great reads and offer an interesting insight into why the company are so successful in Motorsport.
