AJ, this is amazing. On 212-213 you must describe what surely is one of the first computer simulations:
Using the measurements from the oscillograph mounted in Ken MIles's car at the Le Mans trials in April the team programmed into the computer the engine speeds and gearshift patters... The computer would then "drive" throuh a near-exact simulation. ...
The simulation even accounted for pit stops. "It shut the engdine down mementarily as a phantom pit crew jumped into action. And then it was back onto the track..."
This really is history very well recorded. Thanks!
