The other thing to remember was that the whole circuit was lined with high armco, and a lot of net wire fencing to catch debris. I was quite taken by the fact that both the wing mirrors on the 911 were grazed after second qualifying. Close stuff.
A Birmingham jeweller (a large man) wrote his v quick white 911 Turbo off on the corner after the start and finish late in the Porsche event. Huge shunt, very public.
