    Tom Walkinshaw died the morning of Dec. 12 at the age of 64. The Scot endured a long battle with cancer.
    Walkinshaw had stints in Formula One as the boss of the Benetton, Ligier and Arrows teams, but he remains best known as the man behind the famous Jaguars that raced in the World Sportscar Championship and IMSA from 1985 to 1993

    I've got the full race on DVD,Tom and Percy were walking away with the race,then his car split a oil cooler line over the pits speed humps.Still came 3rd.
    They were timed at well over 170mph down Conrod straight.
    That clip is often shown on TV here,always get a kick out of it.
