Mr Johnny Herbert, probably the most under-rated GP driver of his time. Having your feet almost wiped off would spoil the plans of most of us. Here he is re-united with the mighty Mazda 787b .Shivers down the spine. One of the best sounding cars ever .

I was at Le Mans 24hr in '91 when Herbert won. I remember going back to our tent in the campsite which used to be on the outside of the Ford Chicane with my mates for 'refreshments'. We sat and listened to the Mazda 787Bs which were clearly discernible over every other car...so loud ! You could hear every gear change around the whole 8.5 mile lap. After a while we could work out where the cars were on the circuit and were calling out each corner until they blasted past us and into the Ford Chicane again. I've never heard any car like that since. Incredible !
