Here's the link with the info. Its a pretty good read. http://www.isdm.co.uk/darracq/index.htm

"...as the Stanley and the Darracq came to the line for the elimination trials, Hemery revved the V8 and the flames from his open exhausts blasted the wood and canvas body of the Stanley. Hemery was threatened with disqualification, but the officials did not understand the stream of abuse in French that was his reply." The ancestors of high strung, ill tempered F1 drivers.:giggle:

In those days it was common for at least one man to die at every big race.


Yes, they are brass.

What car is that in the Steve McQueen pic? Jag?

D-type.

I thought it might be, but wasn't sure. That is one sexy car. Those nipples, er, tailights make me hot.

I'm too old, I don't have kids, and I must have been busy because I didn't know what most of that stuff was.
