John Fitch interview in the museum on Thursday afternoon

[Nick M]

We were wandering round the museum on Thursday afternoon, admiring the very comfy looking seats in the Ferrari 166, when a rather aged gentleman was escorted past us. I spotted immediately who it was, from the recent programme about the 1955 crash, and it was John Fitch.

He was being interviewed for what looked like a DVD being made about Corvette at Le Mans (didn't see any Eurosport bods there), and it was fascinating standing there listening to his tales from the 1960 event, especially since the class-winning No.3 Corvette he drove was right behind him.

If anyone has any clues as to who was making the DVD then I'd appreciate it, as I'd like to keep my eyes open for a copy when it's released.

The no 3 car was over from the states. On the corvette laps b4 the race, it was John Fitch driving the no 3 car. The car and John Fitch were also at st saturnin and the parade. The film crew came over from the states to document the cars return to Le Mans and it's reunion with John Fitch at Le Mans

[Nick M]

Ah, thanks. I figured they were over for that, but seems he was out and about quite a bit !

You're right that would be a good DVD to have. I hope the finished article will also contain lots of the footage of the car racing as well. Have to keep an eye open for it.

[Nick M]

I'll check, but I'm now wondering if it will also be at the Classic.

Would be surprised if it's not to be honest.

[Gixer]

Don't think it will be. It was based at corvette hospitality where we were and was loaded onto the transporter and left Saturday night. Would make sense if it was though.....

We had a good nose over the no3 when it was parked in town for the parade and it had a good number of cameras positioned inside and outside the cabin. I also managed to got John to sign my parade board along with all of the Corvette Racing drivers.
