Back in 1973, I was at Silverstone for the Martini Trophy; six hours.
Porsche dominated to saythe least! (In the open sports-racers, turbocharged, forget the type number now).
Porsche monopolised the paddock and turned it into a sort of Porsche village!
The "Pit Stops" were merely a token. The three cars led from flag to flag.
I dread to think how much they spent on the cars, the transporters, the mobile workshops, drivers accommodation, team management van, etc.
With their budget chucking such minor parts after one race would be nothing!
