I watched John race at the Nurburgringring (back in the 60's). He was chasing a couple of Porsches in his Ferrari. His skill (and courage) was amazing.

Unfortunately he broke the steering wheel (!) and had to retire.

I used to love the 1000km races at the ring.

Well deserved award

[now where's the knighthood for Murray]
