Time’s up. The 1958-1965 Le Mans OT is go.
I’ll need to figure out a pithy title, and remember how to post images. Then, we’ll start with the magnificent #0728TR, the 250 TR that was deftly piloted to first overall by Phil Hill and Olivier Gendebien in ‘58.
Though we will be covering 1959, moderation will be slightly tighter. It is okay to praise Aston Martin. It’s fine to recognise the immense talents of Shelby and Salvadori. It is never okay to disparage the Prancing Horse. Please bear this in mind.
In the meantime, I’d recommend procuring a model of the car, either in 1:43, or 1:18 if budget allows. This, when placed in peripheral vision, will add to the immersion of the thread. Ixo make a passable rendering of the car for a very reasonable price.
