Question For The Smartypants Amongst Us

[HandyNZL 1]

The driver on fire in this footage at about 2:20 - is that The Bear, Denny Hulme...it's about the right era, but I know it was his hands that got badly burnt...not his feet....but then I remember reading something about the marshalls putting his feet out but didn't realise his hands were on fire too!

Ahh - a bit of research goes a long way....found the Official Results

And I can now answer my own question...it was Mike Mosley http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Mosley

So does that make me the smartypants?

Don't answer that!
