  • Dario Franchitti MBE looks back at his 2022 win in the Duckhams LM at the Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion at Laguna Seca... and looks ahead to 2023's event on 18/19 August.
    A race car made in 1972, the Duckhams LM was funded and driven by Alain de Cadenet and Chris Craft at the legendary Le Mans track Circuit de la Sarthe. In August 2022, Gordon Murray Design took the recreated Duckhams LM to the US to race.

    The team at GMA seem very human on the videos. This is pleasant to see!
    I would really like to see some (more) really geeky engineering things about the new cars.
    A formula of DF asking and an engineer replying would be good.

    Clearly a moving and magical moment for all involved...including us watching this.

    It would be great to see some behind the scenes footage of Gordon Murray Heritage and the building of the Duckhams LM...or any of their other projects for that matter. Cheers!!!

      Well wouldn't be much point in making the video if they did not upload and share 🤦‍♂️ you do realise they make these videos to self promote and make money

      I enjoy the video, I comment and like, that should be just about enough for someone like you. Hope the chicken isn't too warm 😊
      Best regards

    Circa March 1993, I remember taking you around Donnington park in a Vauxhall Astra gte. You told me to "Brake" at the entry to each and every turn marked by cones but I ignored your commands. If I remember right I got a 1.42 lap 😆

    1972 was a fabulous year, forget Petrus. It's the year I was born 😂

    That car was made when cars were cars and drivers were drivers

    Lovely video, slightly takes the edge off when you see on the trophy this happened a year ago, but thanks all the same!

    Happy 50th last May Dario. I'm a day younger than you. My mate is a day older than you. 18th and 20th May 1973. Look nowhere near it. We look like Jack and Victor from Still Game

    What happened to the original?

    • @PS-ps8mo
      @PS-ps8mo Před rokem

      It still very much exists, GM did not want to pay the asking price, so had this one built instead.

    I f'ing hate it when people sit on cars... Especially such valuable machines.

      Well don't let them sit on YOUR cars. I think Dario has earned the right to sit on the Duckhams one. You haven't mentioned where you finished in the race?

    This was a dream to watch. I must admit I was a little bit emotional 🥲. I hadn’t heard of you before the GM videos. You are a top bloke 👍.
