Carlos Gilbert should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
I know this is an old thread, but why start now a new one with the same title? Now, my question is: Looking into some reviews of sportscars of the early 70s (Lola, March, etc.) I see that some models had DFV installed but I read also these versions had no big success mainly due to vibration problems of the engines, this being the main reason for low reliability. The truth is the DFV does not seem to be a good engine for endurance racing for the reason mentioned. Does anyone know the reason for those vibrations? I thought every 6-8-10-12 V engine to always be very smoothly running...
Thanks, CG
