 ;D. I'm guessing he's stopped for a comfort break - unlike French endurance racer Bob Wollek who didn't bother, much to the consternation of his co-drivers in the race.

I'll re-phrase - who was the regular driver of this car?

Yes indeed. Another of those wonderful Southern Hemisphere creations, built by Lou Abrahams.

One more point to you.
