No steve...I DID mean the Tour de France! If you'll look at the schedule the Cobras ran in 1964 you'll see that they raced in the Tour de France, which actually started in Belgium that year and went all around france for several days. You can find the whole story in "Daytona Cobra Coupes" the full history of the Cobra/Ferrari wars in '64 and '65. In addition to the Tour de France the Cobra team ran on other public road circuits like Reims, Spa/Francorchamps, Nurburgring, Enna (in Sicily) and of course Le Mans. Race courses in those days weren't the sissified billiard table smooth tracks that we race on nowadays. Try going over a raised European railroad crossing at over a 120 in a modern race car...it would be destroyed when landing..that is if it didn't take off and fly! Badger
