The driver is as easy as ABC
Re the track, I think rbs meant when he said close to home, well, knowing where he lives.... Last edited by E.B; 8 Apr 2021 at 22:12. |

Not Abecassis who did Le Mans four times, not three.

I have '50 Aston, DB 2, '51 DB 2, '52 DB 3 and '53 DB 3S.
But look if you have ham and cheese, I could supply butter and baguette de pain. We'll then could make a good sandwich! |

Is the car HWM? He wrecked his Alta in France, at Albi. Funnily enough, he was the Facel Vega official importer in the UK.

Haaaaa, c'était donc ça! Mais bon sang mais c'est bien sûr. Let me say it before you, far too subtle for me.
RBS, did you find the year '50 edition results? |

Did you see the gap between the 1st and 5th overall? 256 laps vs 249 sounds tight. I read that a good Dad's bloke, Pozzi, was Dsq'd for the loss of the mandatory seal of his Delahaye 175S. Serious business!

I can not find a reference to GA at Le Mans in 1952, you have him partnering Dennis Poore but I have Dennis Poore as partnering Pat Griffith and retiring when the water pump failed after 3 hours.

OK, I very much rely on you, so my bad. Sorry.
Anyway, good question, proof is dans le gâteau you got several good answers and you kept us busy and entertained. Thanks for that. |

Maybe the 1952 confusion comes from here - https://www.racingsportscars.com/dri...cassis-GB.html

Ha, merci beaucoup crmalcolm! Yes, "in entry list only" together with DNF is obviously very very confusing. Vous avez sauvé mon honneur!

RB, do we have four men and a woman here? As to her, I wonder who can give her name for sure…

It did not say it was broken or anything but perhaps injured enough to be a reason to scratch from running at Le Mans. I noticed also he made no further championship or non championship GP races after the Swiss race that year. This listing from crm suggests he did the Jersey International the following month to Le Mans in July. Im not saying that is the reason.... not done enough research to confirm that but it seems a reasonable thought that the 'arm injury' interfered with Le Mans .

Are you sure about the Swiss GP? I thought GA wrecked his ALTA at Albi and that the transmission failed at Swiss GP.
Edit: the accident was in '39, not relevant. So, we have JMF in wedding outfit and the mysterious lady is known at least by rbs. Last edited by Gerard C; 10 Apr 2021 at 07:09. Reason: Year |
