Tony Rolt has the distinction of being the only Le Mans winner to have started the race drunk. It was believed that the Rolt/Hamilton Jag was disqualified pre-race, so the drivers hit the bar. "Oh, wait, somebody changed their mind."
What a great video...And wouldn't love to get the opportunity to wake up in LeMans for the race finally!! And that Cunningham Coupe is one of my favorite cars from the 50s...What a presence...
