At the recent Baskerville historic meeting during a practice session I was lucky enough to have an 8ltr CanAM McLaren M8 blast past me on the pit straight... my little BMW E30 shook from the thunderous noise of that thing and I then got to follow it under the bridge and through the esses... it then took off at warp speed up the hill.. the engine note barely rising as all that torque shoved it forward. I got the impression that the car stood still and the rear tyres just spun the planet underneath them.

Being on track with that car was a spiritual experience.

The 917/30 must have been insane!

I overhead Jason White saying he just about crapped himself. And he was driving!
