A truckload of 907s, a 910 and Jo Bonnier's Lola T70 at Sebring 1968
Image

While the 907's engine was air-cooled, the driver's nadgers were water-cooled by fine plastic capillary tube lined NASA undies, an electric pump and a large block of ice behind the left headlamp. Jo Siffert / Hans Hermann in car 49 kept their cool to take the win
