A month or so ago, i was up speaking with Bob Olthoff about his racing days. I asked him how the Webers were on the 289 cars. He told me lots of top end power, but not very drivable. He used to be able to pull away from the Ferrari LM's, but they would catch up in the corners.
I wonder how much of that was to do with Carbs & how much to the different suspension types? If memory serves, the LM`s had Webers too, six not four!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
