When was the last time you were at the 24 Hours of Le Mans? In 1971, when Mark Donohue and David Hobbs were driving (in a Ferrari 512 M forced to retire due to engine trouble in the fifth hour). Can you imagine? And I even came as a driver in 1963, in a Ferrari 330 TR with Pedro Rodriguez. It was the first time that the starting grid was not determined by engine capacity. Rodriguez qualified on pole position with a time of 3'50''900. Yesterday, someone asked me to sign a photo of this car! But I hadn't been here since 1971, that's a long time...
