      In the defences of auto makers today, taking the new shelby gt 500 for example, no human can shift faster or more efficiently than the dual clutch auto system provided. Whereas I agree, there is nothing more satisfying than smashing gears by yourself ford set out to build the best performance car possible. And that meant taking the human error out of it.

    It's marvelous to see the view that drivers Jacky Ickx and Brian Redman had when they co-drove a GT40 to victory at the Spa 1K race back in 1968; beating the newest Porsche 908 prototypes in that race. But, that was also back in the old race course configuration of 14 Kilometers/8.8 miles length.
