The footage from the race is brilliant for its time and so are the cars ofcourse. A big thumbs up to all the sportscar drivers at this time who had to tend with so much understeer and oversteer evertime they went into a corner.
I was there in 1964, most tires were still pretty skinny.... only the AC Cobras had bigger Goodyear NASCAR Stock Car tires... with limp frames.... The GTO's could drift forever. The Cobras could not... they would hop...."step out' when pushed too hard. Ferrari GTO's had 306 hp from 183 cid, sohc V-12, Cobras had 376 hp from 289 cid ohv....
Rodriguez took over a GTO after his 330P died. He was 7th OA. AC Cobra Daytona Coupe was 4th OA
Awesome stuff. Amazing how leisurely people are lounging right next to the track, oblivious of danger.
