Le Mans.

Not sure where to post this, so here goes.
We lost former Porsche and Le Mans driver "Quick" Vic Elford recently. Maybe not a legendary driver, but after reading his story, he definitely lived the racer's dream life. And at a most epic time. He was also McQueen's stunt driver for the high speed scenes in the "Le Mans" movie.

He even inspired a run of watches from Autodromo.

Had a more more varied career than I thought.
