Roger Dorchy
Roger Dorchy (1944-2023) was known for having officially reached the top speed record on the Hunaudières (...ah yes, Mulsanne straight) with 405 kph at the wheel of his WM P88.
He was also known for having lead the three first laps at the 1984 Le Mans 24 Hours race, in front of the factory cars with a WM. He competed thirteen times at le Mans (best result 4th in 1980, WM of course). |
