Spa Six Hours 2007 Aston Fights Healey
Two laps after the start we fight the Aston Martin DB4 (no14) Driven by M. Taylor, M. Vergers or P. Bennett. I’m curious who started the race in the Aston. I could not hold him in the end. My tyres got too hot and he got faster.

Driver: Jaap Sinke
Healey Qualified 29th 3:05.582
