Dr. Austin should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Ashamedly. I don't know a thing about this car except that Tobelrone candy bars are deadly delicious. But here is a 908/3 with headlights it was never designed to have. It is from LeMans 1973 (I think).


The 1971 rules called for the addition of the full width roll bar and all it's bracking and, I believe a bigger fire bottle. They may have even raised the weight minimun, negating the little 908's biggest advantage. The last international win for the 908 in NA form was Imola 1972 by Reinhold Joest's ('Jost).

I have to qualify that by saying that N.ring 1976 may have been won by a 908, but I'm not sure. I will have to look it up. This will be alot easier when I get all this info on my harddrive.
