Chris Dyson at Portland this year had a similar drive, with JJ right there, too. |

Yes, Biela and Kaffer did a sterling job to drag the Audi so far up the grid between them.

Another great solo effort at Le Mans would have to be Sommer's '32 win - 21 hours. He, according to the Le Mans timings, also set the fastest lap the following year, when his co-driver was a certain Tazio Nuvolari. |

No wonder Seppi said Pedro was a great guy outside the track and a complete (talented) madman on it!!! |

But. I must say there's some serious battle between the team-mates on the START of the 1000 km race. Some search from the net reveals it only lasted 44 laps for the 25 (Rodriguez/Kinnunen) Porsche, 24 (Siffert/Redman) taking the victory in the end. And, of course, the sad note: the first drivers on both of those cars were killed on racing accidents following year. |

Spot on, Fire !
Another nice pic, Paul ! (Hijacked ? I think it's really this is the topic allright !) Still some regrets when you see those pics... good ol' times ? The Audis battles last year in ALMS, the Dyson/Audi/Zytek this year, are not that different... or am I biased ? |

Suprised no one has mentioned it as yet. What of the Lammers/Dumfries/Wallace Jaguar of 1988 battling with the Shell sponsored Porsche 962 of Bell/Stuck/Ludwig. Ludwig takes the car beyond the edge, meaning fuel stop, cranks it back on the starter motor. The Jag is flying and leads by a considerable distance. However, the last section of the race and it starts to rain. Lammers is in the Jag and the 'reinmeister' Stucky is in the Porsche. The Porsche closes but not enough and Lammers holds the Porsche at bay to an elated crowd. Close stuff indeed and most memorable.
Le Mans 1988. |

Not to mention, PRF, Lammers only had fourth gear!

1. Warren Agor at the 1974 Road AMercia Trans-AM making up 15 seconds in five laps on Peter Gregg.
2. Milt Minter, beating George Follmer, in privateer Camaro, at Donnybrooke in 1970 Trans-Am . Bob |
