...After just one lap, Clark was already 2 sec.-or 100 yds. -ahead of his nearest pursuer. But for 39 more laps, he coolly, relentlessly poured it on until he had lapped all but three of his rivals, smashed the official lap record (82.39 m.p.h.) three times in succession and 15 times in all-even tually raising it to a fantastic 90.59 m.p.h. He did it on a course that he had never even seen until two days before the race, a course that ranks as one of the toughest in the world: 51 curves and 102 gear changes...
...Bandini, 29: the 447-mile Targa Florio, world's oldest and slowest major road race; in Sicily. With Co-Driver Nino Vaccarella Bandini piloted his prototype Ferrari around the twisting, hilly course at an average speed of 63.7 m.p.h., finished a full 5 min. ahead of his closest pursuer: a Porsche driven by Britain's Colin Davis...
Karandas, turning on Kirkland Street, managed to get another look at his pursuer. As he swung onto Divinity Avenue, he contemplated an attack.

"This is a light car with big tires, and it floats when it hits a puddle." The rains came, so heavily that waves of water washed up the Chaparral's nose into the cockpit. Hall had to cut his speed to 10 m.p.h. But the Ferrari was having trouble too, gave up with four hours to go. The rain stopped, and the race...
...real hero is Bond's car, a gleaming Aston-Martin. The only character with class in the movie, it boasts a fantastic equipage including dual machine-guns beneath the headlights, razor-sharp hub caps to shred a pursuer's tires, and a passenger seat which ejects its occupant if he happens to look like an ex-member of the Viet Cong, work for Goldfinger, and be holding a pistol to Bond's throat...
