Dick Barbour Porsche 935:
       
      American car dealer Dick Barbour was taking a pair of 935s to Le Mans in June 1980. Allan was asked to drive in the team’s second car alongside Bobby Rahal and Bob Garretson. Barbour, Brian Redman and John Fitzpatrick were to share the lead car, which was a new Kremer-built 935 with all the latest gear.
       
      Rahal qualified the car fifteenth fastest, however, Allan had set fifth quickest time in an impressive performance when the track was damp.
       
      The 935s were extremely fast but needed to pit for fuel every 55 minutes. The French Rondeaus weren’t as quick but were able to stay out for 85 minutes. Fitzpatrick, Rahal and Stuck all had good starts, but early fuel stops by the Porsches dropped them down the order. Rahal completed two stints before handing over to Allan.
       
      Garretson and Rahal did two more stints each before Allan got back in with the car running well in fifth place behind Jacky Ickx. Both Barbour Porsches were the leading 935s.
       
      Unfortunately during Garretson’s next stint the engine melted a piston and the car was wheeled away. Victory was taken by the French Rondeau of Jean Rondeau and John-Paul Jaussard, whilst second home was the Porsche 908/80 of Ickx and Jost.
