I'm glad to be reminded of Jean Ragnotti. I'm not big on my rally knowledge, but that was an excellent drive.
He was a seriously talented driver, in a varied number of disciplines.
Did he not do some of the early development testing of the F1 Renault Turbo chassis also?Q: What's worse than a Bully? A: His Sidekick

Graham Hill`s epic performance at Silverstone in 1960, was right out of the top drawer, having stalled his BRM on the start line, necessitating a push start after the remainder of the field had disappeared out of sight ,he then carved his way through the entire field in extraordinary fashion, eventually taking the lead from Brabham, and then with victory in sight, he inexplicably spun at Copse,..... a sad end for a fantastic drive.

In the same race Sato finished 10th in the Super Aguri in their B spec car which was originally an old Arrows chassis modified for that season. There was no points for 10th then but the way Sato and the rest of the team reacted it was like a race win.The world according to Taki Inoue: https://mobile.twitter.com/takiinoue/st ... 7249326080

Very strange the Senna-Toleman-Monaco race isn't here... Although he crossed the line first, he didn't win It was a brillant race and the birth of a new Hero!

I remember a year when Dave Metcalfe took a Nova GTE to 4th on the Manx rally against much more potent machinery
Sent from North Korea using the dark network"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.
It was on qualifying stage, he rolled the car and it was said that he won't be able to start the rally. But team managed to repair the car and he did start and dominated drivers like Rossel, Gryazin...
