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! :huh:



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....iki/Mike_Mosley

So does that make me the smartypants?














Don't answer that!
