      “Rotting”? Most museums where the remainder of these cars exist, take immaculate care of them, and quality museums maintain and start up the cars in order to keep everything in order. These cars are history, and history deserves to be preserved for future generations.

    That Darraq is my favorite pre ww1 vehicle of all time. I am saddened by the previous owner passing away, he was utterly ruthless when driving it, like he was almost reckelss! Drove it the way it was built to be driven. Hard to say if he would have been any more aggresive than the current driver was in this race though. Pretty damn impressive imo. Considering that car has basically 1 usable gear and a redline of like 1200 RPM.

      @@VeraTheTabbynx The thing is, Fiat seemed to have designed the S76 from the ground up, purely as a Land Speed Record car. The other Land Speed Record cars in the grid, like the Darracq and the "Blitzen Benz", still had some design features taken from, and suited for, road racing and GP cars of the day, so those cars could still do the corners in a reasonable way.

    That impressive old Darraq appears to have a better relationship between track width and centre of gravity height than most of the other cars. I wonder if it had so little positive camber (if any?) on its front wheels back in the day, which should also make the front tyres happier than on the others. Apart from its grunt, it also appears to push a smaller hole in the air - and I suspect the driver has a big say in it, too :-)
    Really exciting race - and I just loved the way the big Benz just billowed smoke when it applied all its grunt in a charge, positively leaving everyone else standing on the back straight. What an incredible thrill it must be to drive, let alone, race these lovely cars!

      The Bentley vs Benz documentary said only fixing was restricted, with aditional help allowed for wheel changes and refuelling in the pits.
      They even show a refuelling in Monaco in the 1920's with 4 people throwing petrol gallons on a giant funnel stuck on a Bentley's tank (really scary).
