    Someone never spoken about in the development is John (fireball) Olsen. Absolutely the best mechanic I ever worked with in NZ

    How soon they forget the fact that Lola designed and built the Chassis with British Engineering.The Ford engines were brilliant. However Shelby in his early years preferred Chevrolet engines.Oh well all's well that ends well.

    It's a complete mystery to me why Bayle hasn't won an Oscar!!!

    Well remember if Bayle won an oscar they would have to admit that peoplewho bust their butt working to make things work have value but it's only the suits and elite that get the money and prizes

    What would you expect from a race car driver with the last name, "Miles" The irony of it all is something to think about

    Alert as a cannonballer stat driver I often wandered about the 67 Le man race? Why Enzo chose the p330s when his son was refinishing the 347 Dino!! What if he pushed his dad to build the 308s instead,so I bought one a 79 308 Gtb and sought it's topend,to my surprise it hit 226 mph,omg Dino was right,look out Phill Hill !!!

    I always thought Ken got screwed out of the win just because of starting place on the track.

    Nothing new here or any insights into the engineering or driving style. Post card depth.
