Matt, thanks for this info. Do you (or anyone else) know what kind of
laptimes they were doing? Would be nice to compare to what we can
achieve in GPL :)

Hi Tax!

Yup, Dan Gurney had the fastest lap of the meeting, setting a 1.32.6 lap.

Qual was:
1: Gurney 1.32.2
2: Surteees 1.33.4
3: Ginther 1.33.6
4: B. McLaren (McLaren-BRM) 1.34.0
5: J. Brabham 1.34.0
6: J.Rindt 1.34.2
7: L.Scrafitotti (Ferrari) 1.34.2
8: M.Spence (BRM H16) 1.34.6
9: P.Rodriguez (Cooper-Maserati) 1.34.6

As we can see, no Lotii - a non championship race.

Now Matt, hadn't I already taught to you it's tax, not Tax? :)

Ok, so I still need some practice even to match Rodriguez's time :)
My best so far is around 1.37.5 in a Ferrari.

Hihi .. I'm less than a second off Rodriguez's time, albeit in Eagle ... :)
