The company has had major success in sports car racing, particularly in the Le Mans 24 Hours. victory came in 1951 and 1953 with the C-Type, then in 1955, 1956 and 1957 with the D-Type. The director of the race team during this period, snooty England, later went on to become CEO of Jaguar in the early 1970s. Although the example XJ13 was built in the mid-1960s it was never raced, and the famous race was then left for lots of years, until in the mid-1980s when Tom Walkinshaw's TWR team started scheming and prepare Jaguar V12-engined sports prototypes for European sports car races. The team started winning regularly from 1987, and with increased plant backing the team won Le Mans in 1988 and 1990.
