Stirling did two ill advised moves, not one. First, he tried to late brake inside damn near half the field on the first real corner of the race, going onto the dirt on the inside to do so. He tapped

This brings a few thoughts to my mind... The coverage was great. Flat out the best coverage of a vintage event that I can imagine, with lots of really quite well done vignettes to fill in the inevita

If I recall correctly (always an iffy proposition), one of the announcers mentioned that the DBR1 in question has already been re-bodied twice. Which, of course, is no excuse for ol' Stirling coming

Letting someone else (famous) drive your car is something I have never understood. I can't believe it is for the generosity of the "good of the sport". There must be something else to gain. Example:
