RE: Pic of the Week: Remembering Alan Mann
Discussion
What a shame...Alan will be sorely missed by a lot of racing fans from that era. At least the legacy of his cars is still with us. The giant killing RS1600s were absolutely awesome against the big Camaros and Boss Mustangs of the time. I remember going to the British Grand Prix at Brands Hatch in 1970 and one of the support races was the Wiggins Teape Paperchase with Frank Gardner in a black Boss Mustang and Mike Crabtree in his RS1600 Escort, amongst others. I was only nine but the memory is as clear as a bell. Superb racing! As a reminder click on the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY5zdnGvT0c
That must have been some day out..!!
Over forty years on and still fresh in your mind..
Technology had not become so mental as today's cars with
so much of the cars control taken up by computer management etc...
The RS3100 Capri's were something else to behold too...
R.I.P to a true legend...
