Note:
Chris Craft's memories
in CaS 4/10:
"Alain [de
Cadenet] ran me in '71 in a 512M that was a truck -
very heavy steering - but I pulled 230mph and more on
the Mulsanne once the motor loosened up. We had
something like 560bhp, a real stonker. I was down to
drive with [car owner] David Weir, a wealthy American
playboy who went on to write for Road & Track. I
admit that I was not at all keen. David was a party
animal and an erratic driver, but Le Mans was his
dream. We got him down to Dave Prowse's gym in the
East End - Dave being the old Green Cross Code man who
played Darth Vader - and got him in shape. Weir
knuckled down and drove well, while the car was
fantastic. You have to keep in mind that we were a
potless privateer team up against manufacturersand
well-funded semi-works teams." |
