unbelievable.... this was driven by Pete Brock and Bob Lyon in the 1969 Baja 1000, where it finished 4th in class behind James Garner’s ’69 Olds Cutlass

The struts in the car kept failing every 100 miles and a BRE airplane would land and two Japanese mechanics would replace the struts. 

That worked during the day, but at night the planes couldn’t fly so the drivers just crept along at speeds slow enough that the struts would last till dawn, which they did.
