some car... and driver!

You'd have to have some faith in the car under you at those speeds!

Haven't watched the vid as on my phone but I presume the mulsan straight is totally straight, so no chicane. Would be good if they could still do that and some of the new cars could probably go faster.

I WAS, going to say that's not QUITE as impressive as the 917s that pulled 231, twenty years earlier. but Mulsanne appears to have chicanes there...

I thought they were added quite a bit later.

3.27 though, not bad.

Blundell must have been driving Grp C and F1 at the same time then.

Looks like very hard work, compared to now.
