Ouside assistance
;D Exactly! They were leading the 1.5L class, had an off during lap 254 and were assisted back on track by spectators. :'( The sister car (#42) led the class until it crashed on lap 243 and retired. :-\ They would have been classified as 10th & 11th overall as well as 1 & 2 in class. ::) The retirement(s) allowed the #47 Porsche 550 Spyder (Zora Akus-Duntov was one of the drivers) to win the class, placing 12th overall and completing only 216 laps. :o As the French would say: c'est dommage. :-[(mumbles to himself "I must look deeper into the chronicles")

Hi Bear,
Unless you were being ironic, can I suggest that your proposed course of action is exactly what NOT to do. One can get into this thing too deeply you know!
