HISTORY

After popular enthusiasm for the unexpected performance of the No. 24 MS630 of Henri Pescarolo and Johnny Servoz-Gavin at the 1968 24 Hours, Matra Sport decided to accelerate its program and aim for victory at Le Mans a year in advance.

While waiting for the new 650 "spider" according to the plans of Bernard Boyer and the manufacturing of Roland Roy, taking into account the stability factor more than on the 630, it was decided to adapt the 630 to the 1969 regulations: the 630-650. Two cars were entered in this form at Le Mans in 1969, numbers 34 and 35, although designated on their sides as MS 650s. No. 35 comes from the modification of car no. 30 from 1967. It is the only one equipped with Koni shock absorbers. Like the No. 34, it is equipped with 6-spoke wheels and a short rear hood and the exhausts are integrated into the rear diffuser to give a Venturi effect.
