The British racing hero set a lap time nearly nine seconds faster than the Moto GP bikes managed at the same track last month.

He drove for Brabham and Fondmetal in 1992. Didn't qualify for most of them.

It's good. It gives us perspective...or something...

I think Danner was one of those Sato-kinda guys...broke into F1 and never did anything impressive, then faded away...early 80's I think :eusa_think:

So, where is Prost? I remember reading he declined to participate, but I was never sure of the reason why. He would give Mansell a run for his money, eh?

Thanks for posting the update, monza.
