What's happening!" I asked.
"You just broke the lap record!" someone told me. I shot a
quick glance at Mr. Chinetti, who was forever ordering me to
drive slowly to save the car, but although he was trying to
look stern he could not keep the smile off his face.
Mr. Luigi Chinetti is a little old man. To look at him you
would never guess that he has won Le Mans three times as a
driver.



In his third victory, except for two hours, he drove
the entire race himself--at the age of forty-nine. That was
the first time a Ferrari won Le Mans; years later, when Mr.
Chinetti's car won in 1965, it was the last time a Ferrari won
at Le Mans. Now another of his cars had broken the lap rec-
ord, and he could barely conceal his pride. Seventy-one years
old and stilla racer. ...



If i could go back in time it would in 1970 and be at Le Mans ....sadly i was only 5 !!!
