    Hey whoever the driver is: it is NOT a rally car and you are not on a dirt road! LOL. I did NOT do that when I drove 1024:)!

    1024 Mas du Clos photo is from September 1981.
    Herbert "Herbie" Müller passed away in a Porsche 908/4 at the Nürburgring on 24 May 1981.
    He is not the driver in that photo.

    Ahah I thought the Strad was making a joke about Herbie the Disney VW Beetle, not a reference to team owner driver Herbert Muller...anyway the photo is very odd, or he is realllllly pushing beyond the limit you don't normally see that with some amateur driver at a club day...unless somebody just caught THE moment when someone almost had a BIG problem...

    The driver might be the late Uderzo? One might wonder if driving a 512 on (over?) the limit in a short sleeved shirt is a good idea.

    No, the driver is not Albert Uderzo. He purchased 1024 after September 1981.

    Now, we still don't know who is drifting the 512 M s/n 1024 at Mas du Clos in September 1981.....see Mr.Massini's post #1104.
    Would it be Dr. Jean Aussenac himself? A doctor, racing in a T-Shirt, who keeps his 512 M in his living room? :D

    Based on location, casual dress, eyes, and comfort with the circuit, I might guess Patrick Bardinon..... I thought he generally wore a blue helmet, but that is memory from the early 70’s, so who knows what color he was wearing in the 80’s......

    Older cold tires would be a guess as well.....

    It looks like the photo may have been taken under a Christmas tree?

    Well, I'd have to ask him "C'mon man, why not the SWB Berlinetta I wrote you about ? This doesn't even seem to have adequate luggage space for weekend trips, let alone full road trip vacation". :confused:

    It is Patrick Bardinon driving Docteur Aussenac's s/n 1024 at Mas du Clos, during a Club Ferrari France gathering.

    Makes sense, he was aiming at a pro driver career before getting seriously hurt in an F2 crash at the Nurbugring.
    He guided me round Mas du clos circuit (just in the Peugeot I was using) showing me the racing line May 1 1998 just after lunch with his parents and gf and after I did a shoot of 0870. Nice guy though his brother and sister are not happy with him right now:D

    Let's go back to the 512 S/M, there is a separate thread about the Bardinon saga.

    Here's a pic also taken at the Modena Aerautodromo.
