Can anyone (I expect John or bauble here) tell me what is the english equivalent to our "Concours Lépine" please? Its a contest where advanced and crazy ideas are mixed together. In some way, it seems Le Mans has been a contest for amateurs builders too.
I always thought the WM's (Gérard Welter and his troops, Peugeot engine) were rather tricky at speed (confirmed by JC Andruet).
chunterer do you remember a really tall driver (probably Scottish) who could barely close the door of its Ecosse? During the night a mechanic forgot this "detail", slammed the door and exploded the side window (can't remember the year).
