Yes, I was going to mention that drive. I was always a McLaren fan in the BPR series, but Gounon's drive that day was fantastic. He seemed to be running on controlled anger for most of the race!
Another one that springs to mind for me was Brundle at Silverstone in '88. Cheever had been taking the fight to the two Saubers from the start, but couldn't shake them off. Then Martin got in the car...and by the time he ended his stint he was more than half a minute clear. Game over.
There were also three great drives at Dundrod in 1955 for the TT:
- Moss, who won in the 300SLR, having left everyone behind, including Fangio;
- Hawthorn, who put the D-Type, which wasn't really suited to the circuit, up with the Mercs.
-Collins. His Aston Martin DB3S failed to get away at the start, but he charged through the field in the underpowered (though superbly handling) car, briefly getting up to third before the car gave up the gost completely.
