    1/3rd thru the track, confronted with a bit of traffic blocking the road, Mike utters "Typical French" ... I damn near fell out of my seat I was laughing so hard...
    Great racer, pity he died. I wonder if he had the demons from the '55 crash where he was the spark that initiated the worst crash in racing history... What a great vid, those guys really kicked ass.
