The Matra 620 was the first Matra to tread the tarmac of the 24 Hours of Le Mans track in 1966. An ambitious global project for the development of the brand in the automotive and motor sports was launched at the end of 1965. Jean-Luc Lagardère is the source of this visionary simultaneous program in F2, F3, rally and endurance and he will try with less success to also launch himself in F1.
The 620 arriving at Le Mans is in line with the road version of the 530. Matra engages three cars.
It is Jean-Pierre Beltoise who takes the start on 620 n°41. He finished the first hour in an honorable 20th place behind the Porsche 906 2L n°30 of Jo Siffert and n°32 of Udo Schnütz. Until midnight, the Matra with the yellow eye oscillates between 22nd and 24th place, but gradually loses contact. The pipe is obstructed by exhaust gases that fill the passenger compartment due to a broken pipe. The problems then add up to give up after 112 laps.
