| - 2 - Again, on the straight, due to extra maximum speed between this type of car and one capable of roughly 190 kms per hour (Alfas) the difference is not very much, as the straight lap at Le Mans represents only about 4 kms. I trust that I have made myself clear, and should you need my services please do not fail to let me know. I shall shortly be obtaining complete lists of all the cars entered up to date, which I will forward on to you. [Signature] P.S. "" Since writing the above, Mr. Hall has sent in his entrance fee for Fcs. 5,800.- which is being passed on to the Le Mans authorities. | ||
