No mention of these?? Sure, Le Mans, not F1, but so was that Aston, and these two are arguably far more famous.

Absolutely NOT, but way more than that Aston.

The World's Fastest Lorry deserves it's fame.

At the time I think the French called WO's cars "Le Camion Pluvite" (The large truck/lorry)!

I believe it was christened thus by Ettore Bugatti, the Italian who preferred Germany. He found himself in France after WWI, without having moved. He was ****ed because the huge Bentley beat him conclusively at Le Mans. Old WO knew his onions... and garlic.
