If a superhero villain were a car, it would be the Le Mans-winning Bentley Speed 8.
Bentley returned to Le Mans in 2001 after decades away from the race. The Bentley Speed 8 finished 3rd in 2001 and 4th in 2002 before dominating in 2003, when Bentley finished 1st and 2nd overall. The winning car was driven by Tom Kristensen, Rinaldo Capello, and Guy Smith, giving Bentley its most recent overall Le Mans victory.
Toda la vida le voy a estar agradecido al tipo que se le ocurrió meter +60 autos de diferentes categorías a correr en un circuito de 13km durante 24hs seguidas

Ayrton Senna en el Gran Premio de Mónaco 1990…
A diferencia de las levas actuales detrás del volante, el McLaren MP4/5B de Senna tenía una caja manual de 6 velocidades en forma de H.
Para cambiar de marcha unas 3,600 veces por carrera, Senna debía soltar constantemente el volante con la mano derecha.
Controlaba un indomable motor V10 a más de 250 km/h por calles estrechas con una sola mano.
El auto no contaba con dirección asistida ni suspensión activa. Toda la tracción y corrección en los saltos de Montecarlo dependían puramente de su sensibilidad y fuerza muscular.
