Why is "1998 24 Hours of Le Mans" trending?

Wikipedia Overview

The 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans was the 66th Grand Prix of Endurance and took place on 6 and 7 June 1998. It was won by the Porsche of Allan McNish, Stéphane Ortelli and Laurent Aïello, giving Porsche its record-extending 16th overall victory.
The race had promised much with Porsche facing major works efforts from the Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, Nissan and Panoz GT teams as well as BMW and Ferrari prototypes. From the flagfall, at the earlier start-time of 2pm, it was the Toyota team setting the pace and by the evening, it was apparent it was going to be a Porsche versus Toyota duel, with the rest broken or left in their wake. The Toyota GT-One was racing on debut and gearbox problems afflicted all three of the cars before nightfall after leading comfortably. It was then that the two Porsche works cars took over, staying in front through the night, as the Toyotas pushed hard to make back the time lost.
As dawn broke it was the Porsches' turn to have mechanical problems and the Toyota of Geoff Lees/Thierry Boutsen/Ralf Kelleners grabbed the lead back again. In 1997, Porsche had lost the victory in the final hours. This year it was Toyota and the Porsche 911 GT1 finally won at its third attempt.
The latter part of the race was very tense, thrilling the crowd, with the Toyota and Porsche staying on the same lap for five hours, without letting up. It was finally broken at 12.35pm, with less than 90 minutes to go. Kelleners had a 1-minute lead over McNish, each with one pitstop remaining but it was then that the Toyota’s gearbox broke and he coasted to a stop. Thereafter, with three laps gap to the nearest Nissan, McNish and Alzen were able to ease back to take a 1-2 Porsche finish. For the works Nissan finishing third, it was the first time an all-Japanese crew had been on the Le Mans podium, and all four of the team cars finished.
The prototypes never had the pace to match the GT1s and all had issues of some sort. The best placed was the Doyle-Risi Ferrari finishing 8th, 19 laps back. In the GT2 class, it was a 1-2 finish for the Viper Team ORECA Chryslers, running trouble-free and winning convincingly over the Porsche 911 teams.
