"Swerving" back to one of the earlier questions, I recall reading a few years back (in Guinness Book of World Records) that Mark Donohue set the fastest speed ever recorded during a race at a track in Europe in a Porsche 917-30, at 257 MPH, and read on a Porsche site last night that Jackie Oliver in a 917-30 set a record fastest speed ever recorded for a practice run of 396 KPH in 1971 at during Le Mans night (!) testing on L' Hunnadieres (?) straight. Now where are those conversion tables...
