you have to admit though, the standard of the wives/girlfriends was very high!

Inevitable, I guess, that people would dismiss this as someone exercising their retired greyhound on a Sunday morning, but actually I have to say that it was a great start. Immense respect to Fittipaldi for harrassing Mansell throughout and what a poor showing from the one man who ought to have done better - Jan Lammers. Patrese settled nicely into his old role - support act.

Hans Stuck not only gave a cracking display of car control, but also has the best looking wife too. These old sportscar boys do pick 'em - if you've seen Misti Bell you'll know what I mean

It's going to get better - Kyalami's a kart track and these guys hadn't driven more than about 15 consecutive laps had they?...Now that they have the feel for the machines, I think we'll see good dces from the off.

It seemed to me that the director had spotted him and the cameras followed him quite a bit, clearly hoping for some action.

Is Stuck pretty much the only one who still races regularly?

Yep. Even being an "almost-has-been" beats the hell out of most anything else!

Nope, Lammers too....although you wouldn't have guessed it....and Johannsen still races in sportscars doesn't he?
