     Dave Langley: “He had these two drivers going around... ‘It was tight. Both vehicles were in four wheel drift... I was in the trunk.'
     Dangerous.
    ‘...my assistant was holding me. I was using a reflex view-finder on a 35mm camera... three or four inches off the deck at many miles an hour, photographing a 924 with a wide-angle lens, six or eight feet behind. The dumbest thing I ever did . If anything had gone wrong, I'd be dead. And Helmut is in the passenger seat telling the guy to go faster.'
