C'mon, guys. Get real. If he actually tried to DRIVE that F1 Lotus

roast his ass over a slow fire for weeks. ;=)

By coincidence, the April 1998 issue of Classic & Sports Car has a photo of
Count Rossi showing off the Alabama license plate of his "street licensed"
Porsche 917. It had just returned from a full day and night stint at some
obscure place in France called Le Mans. ;-)
Y'all need to realize that there are times when you could stand beside some
portions of the Interstate in Alabama and not see a vehicle for 5 minutes.
Yes, there are places where you can safely drive a F-1 Lotus on public roads,
but this is no more amazing than the Monday after the Monterey Historics when
I was passed (and I do mean passed) by 2 racing C-Types on California 156
while returning to San Francisco
