halfway through one race and that was two days in when fog shrouded the tortuous track. Yet his mental circuit map saw him to victory at the end of 84 gruelling hours. That was 1967, and as his colourful description of a lap of the demanding German venue proves, his corner-by-corner recall hasn’t faded since.
