EmailBy now, you have likely seen the car that graces the latest issue (Nov/Dec) of Vintage Motorsport – the 1982 Mirage M12 that was famously pulled from the grid minutes before the father and son duo of Mario and Michael Andretti were set to pilot it at Le Mans.
Photo: Nick Lish (Vintage Motorsport)A tip from a friend of VM pointed us to this four-part video series that was posted by award-winning network television broadcaster, Rick Debruhl. In 1982, Rick covered the creation and testing of the car for Phoenix television affiliate KPNX-TV

1.23K subscribersTriumph at Le Mans (1961) June 10th 1961 From the Standard Triumph archives Commentary by Raymond Baxter This is a promotional film produced by the Standard Triumph Motor Company of Coventry, England. The film documents the 1961 24hr of Le Mans and the 3 Triumph TR4S racing prototypes entered by the company. This was a follow up to a similar but less than successful effort by the company the previous year, which was also documented on film.

Great film of the race as well as the TRSs. My late father was a competition mechanic under Ken Richardson and did all 3 Le Man's. I love Raymond Baxter's voice, great diction, eloquence and correct pronunciation unlike so many dumbed down and slovenly spoken presenters of late. No wonder he was chosen to commentate on the Queen's Coronation and Winston Churchill's funeral. He was a WW2 Spitfire pilot too
