Harrington Le Mans: Sunbeam’s Lovely Gran Turismo
"At nine the next morning, with three hours to go, a French organizer told us that if we souped up our car a little, we'd beat Porsche for the Efficiency Index. Great delight! We ran up a sign that said '+500 REVS TO BEAT X.' Sure enough, up came 500 rpm. Peter, of course, was very disciplined. The car just kept going round and round. We couldn't believe it! It gave us no trouble at all." —Lewis Garrad
