As a teenager, I remember sticking my hand in a 924 Turbo's bonnet NACA duct to see just how hot it would get under there. The answer, probably unsurprisingly, is very! Nice cars, whatever they were initially designed as...
Some great photos there Foxy. TV coverage of motorsport is incredible now, and you probably get a better view of the race than you do live but you can't substitute the sounds and even smells of the real thing. Albeit I wear earplugs nowadays, for F1 at least. Not so sure on the diesel breed of Le Mans cars but then I've not heard them in the metal.
