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 :) Samppa --

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. Samppa --

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