A query, not a quiz.
During the Classic at LM in 2002, where would some of the lap times have put the cars in this years LM grid proper? Did a GT40 or 917 put a better time in than say a GT3 or 360?

I reckon that should be a question for the fabled 'Chuck' of radion le-mans fame

I cannot understand how hard it is to find the lap times! the results are on www.lemansclassic.com but the lap time are not. must be hiding something! |

Some people will tell you that slow is good - and it may be, on some days - but I am here to tell you that fast is better.

Hard, I should say so. I couldn't find a 'ting either. Maybe a spotters badge should be on order for this one.

Just realised why I didn't get a photo on track; the little beauty DNS in three of the four runs and only came out to play for 6 laps in the 3am shift!!!

A 4.24 lap would have put the Lola on the back row of the grid |

Hmm, I had the fastast race lap (not qualifying) as Mark Hales in 1970 Ferrari 512S in 4'24"658.
I'm not sure how that would compare with the 2003 race times, but I don't think he'd be right at the back. Not bad for a 33 year old car.
Err, actually not, just hang on a minute....
It seems that a Mini Cooper driven by Barbara Cartlands remains posted a 3'10", and that would have put her right up there.

That must be a Cooper S then. |

I don't care - I'm a racing driver and I'm here to win, not to finish third.

I'd like to think a time on my Graham Weigh 7005 Protal wouldn't be too far off either!!  |
