In 1964, Clark drove the Hon Patrick Lindsay's ERA 'Remus' at Rouen, after just 4 laps he beat not only Lindsay's pole time but lapped faster than any ERA had ever lapped.
However I remember Senna (with some other drivers) did a rallytest in Wales with CCC, several rally cars were used , Senna was very quick IIRC.
