:43:04
Your attention to the pit area.
:43:07
The longtail Porsche,
number 25, is coming in,
:43:10
after having been
out on the circuit
:43:12
for only 14 minutes,
since its last stop
:43:14
for fuel and driver change.
:43:17
The team of Kurt Ahrens
and Vic Elford
:43:18
has built up
a formidable early lead
:43:20
on the factory Ferraris
:43:22
and the Gulf-Porsche team.
:43:24
However, it appears now
:43:25
that something definitely
out of the ordinary
:43:27
has befallen the Austrian entry.
:43:29
You will recall that
this is the car which,
:43:32
for the first time
in the history of Le Mans,
:43:36
averaged a speed in excess
of 150 miles per hour.
:43:51
Mr. Delaney.
:43:52
You know the white longtail
is out of the race
:43:55
with a blown engine.
:43:56
Yeah, well, that's bad luck.
:43:58
Do you think
it will be
:43:59
another
Ferrari-Porsche race?
:44:00
A little early to say,
but I think so.
:44:03
What kind of race
will you drive?
:44:05
Try to save the machine,
go as fast as I can, try to win.
:44:08
Do you think it will be
like Nurburgring--
:44:11
a race between
you and Stahler?
:44:13
I hope not, ma'am.
:44:14
And what do you
think of Stahler?
:44:16
Stahler?
I think he's probably
:44:17
one of the best drivers
in the world.
:44:19
Excuse me.
:44:21
What do you think
is the most difficult thing
:44:23
about Le Mans?
:44:24
To go as fast as possible,
:44:26
and keep the car on the road
for 24 hours.
:44:28
That's difficult.
:44:35
Would this be
the same kind of race
:44:37
you had with Delaney
at the Nurburgring?
:44:38
Well, this is Le Mans.
:44:39
It's a different thing,
you know?
:44:41
Do you think
that you and Delaney
:44:42
will end up having
a close race here?
:44:44
Maybe. He's fast, I'm fast,
so we're always together.
:44:48
Good luck.
:44:56
Michael...
