Out for a nice bicycle ride when a D Jag goes by at full chat! (Okay, he wasn't at race speeds but he wasn't going slow either.) Love the Renault driver swerving back into his own lane when the D comes along.

Looks like he had his goggles on top of the visor while driving the lap and on when they took a pic from the front.

Just a little drive through the French countryside.
Interesting how the spoke of the steering wheel is pointing up instead of down.

Call me nostalgic, but that was the golden age of drivers and racing.
