    Thank you

    I still need to identify and find the 928 S which won the 24 Hour of Snetterton.
    The 928 SE is still in good condition and in the UK.

    Some of the relay races in England are long established but for a while paralleled the PCGB championships here are one other example.

    They have misspelt motorsport engineer Michael Cane’s name as often is the case.

    Cane wrote this obituary about his late friend gentleman racer Steve O’Rourke . A life well lived. Leaving a 24h Le Mans where he was entrant to supervise a Pink Floyd’s gig in London and flying back to do his driver stint that’s an action packed weekend. Being able to able to afford buy and run a McLaren F1 endurance race-car as privateer gentleman racer a little reward for the trials and tribulations of managing a rock band with squabbling
    personalities

    Incidentally Gordon Murray confirmed to me personally that Cane (along with Belm his Co-owner of GTC) were responsible for persuading (forcing) him and Ron Dennis to go racing with the McLaren F1 road car

    Also the Cane O’Rourke EMKA team had fin with an Aston Martin in parallel to the Relays in classic 911

    EMKA drivers Faure and Needell occasionally raced in the PCGB club races as did O’Rourke — their names occasionally crop-up in the reports at the time. Needel even prepared for the Le Mans race in this Aston using a 911 SC at the 83 Wilhire 24h race drive — he wrote a report about it here:
