Jetpilot Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 This was a thing of legend over on the rx7 forums, it does sound absolutely incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bockaaarck Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 (edited) Love this 787, such a fantastic car! Love Johnny Herbert too, seems like he can still drive a bit I always remember Takao Wada's crash at Fuji in 1991. Car flipped, rolled and burst in to flames with Wada in it. Johnny stopped his car and ran to help, it was only the second time he'd tried to run since shattering his legs a couple of years before. Luckily Wada got out of the car and was shaken but ok. I will always respect Johnny for stopping and trying to help someone who needed it. The fact he wasn't even sure he would be able to run to help but still tried anyway, speaks volumes Edited August 18, 2015 by Bockaaarck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docwra Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I was there to watch that lap ......... as was everyone else within a 20 miles radius of la circuit de la Sarthe, I dont think even for the start the crowd was as big. The car is an icon, and was great to see and hear giving it (nearly) full chat, if you ever get the chance to see and hear a 787 or 767 in the metal get it done, you wont regret it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Apparently one of the drivers is now deaf (sorry his name escapes me), believed to be attributed to his time in the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
