Spot on D28 , Masten indeed, who was potentially the best of all the American drivers that hit our shores, and one of the unluckiest, I saw his drive at Silverstone in the Ecurie Ecosse Lister Jaguar which was absolutely sublime, and at Oulton Park in the paddock, a slightly built bespectacled figure either smoking a pipe or a cigarette, who out of a racing car could easily be mistaken for a bank clerk or local primary school teacher, an unforgettable character.Quote:

If I might make a wild stab in the dark, the first "high nose" car was a Tyrrell from 1990 whilst Alesi was still there (hence the reason why this is my guess).Quote:

I'm saying Dr. Harvey Postlethwaite... could be wrong though.
Let's finish this one before starting another shall we?
