"Must be rear-engined, old boy!"

Sir,

I wonder if you heard the public address commentary at the practice session at Goodwood on April 1st ? The F1 InterContinental cars were circulating and Chuck Daigh was feeling his way round the circuit as it was his first appearance at Goodwood. The commentator mentioned this fact in connection with his lap times and then went on to say that as the Scarab has a front-mounted engine driving the rear wheels it could not be expected to handle as well as the rear-engined cars ! Verb. sap. !

I am, Yours, etc.,
