Okay, so since everyone has brought up how fast this car was, were all these tuned to the same specs, but this one ended up faster because of the aforementioned broken valve? Or did this guy's team just excel at tuning cars?
Update. And this from a reliable source in the race that day, that the reason Scott was at the back of the pack at the start of the race was because he blew the turbo waste gate, apparently the replacement that was found at the track from a civilians car and taken off and mounted on the race car, was found to be extremely modified after the race by tech officials. Many of the participants found the car to be extremely fast down the straight. This still remains a great drive! !

@translogpk Only partly true. During tech, officials somehow broke some sort of valve inside the turbo plumbing by deciding to blow into it with a straw! Porsche nor any teams had any replacements on site so a donor part was found in a local car. I don't know of it's condition post race.
Tricky Ricky was pretty good, and did finish 2nd in this race behind Jacques Villeneuve Sr., but Goodyear won 3 of the first 4 races in 1988 and won the championship ahead of Spenard.
Tremblant is my home track and I have run there several times on it. Richard Spenard who finished a head of Scott use to be my instructor, he was Gilles Villeneuves driving partner during the Formal Atlantic ( Direct Film) circa 1973 I think ) days before Villeneuve was noticed by James Hunt (F1) who got passed by Villeneuve in an Atlantic race ( @ Trios Rivieres) and gave Villeneuve an introduction to one of the F1 teams of the day the rest was history as he ascended into to F1.
He is screaming at the fact that he missed the exit of the corner the way he wanted to, to get better acceleration specifically out of the s's were the track has a long portion of un interupted bends were he can make up on cars. That 2 miles an hour faster out of an important exit goes a long way at the end of that run. You will notice that when he gets the exit right he pumps his fist.
@ffffaffff Actually that's his ABS light. Back then you could turn ABS on and off. And that's the reason he went off on that one lap as he missed the switch heading into the corners and he locked up.
Great drive by Scott, thanks for posting!

In our province of Quebec we use to call Richard Spenard King Richard, on the track he was and still is that good.
