gfm should be qualifying in the top 5 on the gridgfm should be qualifying in the top 5 on the grid
A couple of suggestions. Jackie Ickx/Derek Bell Porsche climb through the field after an early major delay, to win Le Mans but I forget which year of their wins it was. .... (someone? Thank you).
Didn't Masten Gregory/Jochen Rindt do the same in a Ferrari 330 GTO but in the 50s/60s? Just drove flat out after early problems but couldn't kill the car.
Or in the Finnish laddie in the wet during the night in McLaren F1's 24 Hour win-first-time-out in 95? Huge speed in the wet with a car without much downforce.
Or Duncan Hamilton/Tony Rolt in the D-Type. Weren't they all ****ed up about to go home after a serious cock-up in practise?
All pretty heroic.
