For six hours the Porsche team of German Cafe Owner Hans Hermann, 31, and veteran Belgian Driver Olivier Gendebien, 36, patiently waited back in the pack. One by one the Ferraris broke down under the strain as the Maserati bellowed to a six-lap lead. But at 6:10 p.m., just as headlights flickered on, Moss eased his low-slung car off the course with...
