Lakeland roads - as they used to be

[Mike Costigan]

According to Quentin Spurring's Le Mans History, I quote: ... their car remained strong all the way to the mid-morning, when the engine would not run properly after a routine pit stop. A quantity of rust and gunge from the refuelling tower had got into the fuel system. Some of this was cleared, but the remainder had to forced through by repeatedly revving the engine. This consumed so much fuel that the car ran dry after only 23 laps after it had rejoined. As soon as the car was refuelled, disqualification ensued.
