    I think the comparison to 'current F1 superstars' cheapens the letter a little bit.

    can some one confirm something for me.

    I remember reading that either Sir Jack, Bruce maclarren or Rob (Bob) Mattich (sp) was the first person to put a wing for down force purposes on a car?

    it was waaaay back when it happened and I think it's debut was at an aussie or NZ track.
