of the corners.
*
Mansell performed a 3-4 doughnuts at the end of his run.
* 250,000 people attended the event. Regent Street
became so packed that people couldn't get into it and had to be
moved to nearby streets where large TV's were on view. People were
hanging out of there windows, on lamp posts etc
* Minardi ran there 2 seater with a wife of a major
CEO taking the passenger seat. They paid £200,000 at a charity
auction for the chance.
* Estimated speeds were going to be 75mph but that
was reduced to almost 40mph because of the narrow track and the
fact that the public were so close.
* All drivers made there runs but the event had
to be stopped early because of public safety. Not because of the
cars but it was getting far to congested. |
