Stuck on the banking at Daytona, crew went up to sort it so they could get it back to the pits, Helmut Marko was one of the drivers, no red flags those days, if only Red Bull gave you wings eh?

Until you posted that it had never clicked that Marko from Red Bull was the same Marko as won Le Mans with Gijs Van Lennep.

I read somewhere he was blinded in one eye from flying debris when racing in F1?

Apparently he had a glass eye, I just thought he looked like that as he’d spent too long listening to Christian Horner talking boll0cks.

Picture 4 shows his intention, and picture 5 shows hers. Picture 7 shows why he tried picture 4. A more innocent (and much easier to get away with sexual misconduct) age.

A survivor and finisher of the 1978 Daytona 24-Hour race. Finished the race with the RH lower tension/compression rod in two pieces, repaired by laying both halves in a piece of handy angle-iron and brazed together. Brake line was torn out, so we crushed it, folded it back on itself and clamped it in an 8-inch Vise-grip plier and taped that to the strut with a fair amount of duct tape and sent the car back out.
The car was sponsored by Bandag Recap Tires. We used New Goodyear carcasses with Bandag street tread applied. Ran the Daytona race with one tire change (they wore like iron) and three brakes functioning.
Thank you Bob Bondurant for the opportunity and thanks to Ted Viviani, Bobby Bondurant and the many others for all the hard work, blood and sweat it took to get it there for Bob Bondurant, Steve Cook, Bill Cooper and Ron Southern to do a superb job of hauling it through to the finish. I'm eternally grateful and hope your rest is peaceful and all the lights of Heaven's streets are green.
