One driver had reconnoitered the whole course, splashed yellow paint on the road to signal the worst curves (unfortunately, other drivers had also painted the course in stretches and confused the system). Thousands of Mexican soldiers were assigned to patrol the route, ward off unwary roadsiders. But safety seldom wins a race. For five days, over eight separately timed laps, speed was the watchword...
