I have an interesting tale of visors.

Many many years ago I was racing at Amaroo and the weather was an on-off mixture of showers, clouds and sunshine. I was using a tinted visor and also running at the pointed end of the field. On the 'sighting' lap I took note of the damp areas and in particular a large patch at 'Mazda House', a very fast right-hand, downhill sweeper.

I think i was 2nd or 3rd on the first lap as we approached the corner and I backed-off a fair bit only to have someone pass me on the outside. I figured the driver had no thought of self preservation. The next lap, again I was passed, and so this went on for just about each of the 8, or so, laps.

I was quite depressed at the finish and thought I'd lost the plot regarding racing.

On the 'slow-down' lap I raised my tinted visor for a closer look at the damp patch only to discover it was a shadow, cast by a large tree in the sunshine!

I think I told everyone I was having fuel pickup problems to hide my stupidity.
