Re: Racing Heuers - Monterey Historics THIS WEEKEND part II!

Bradley great poster, the Lucky Strike colorsheme on the David Piper's 917 with red top and white body is one of my alltime favourites.1971 was the first year that Heuer sponsored Ferrari and the 312 PB driven by Clay Regazzoni and Brian Redman was the winning car in Kyalami 1971. Ferraris victory though was only possible after Clay hitting Tony's leading/dominating 917 and forcing him into the pits for 20 minutes while only quickly replacing the nose on the Ferrari.
Very interestin would be if also the winners have been awarded with a Heuer watch and was this done during the hole 1971 season for fastest laps and wins? Would you know?
Cheers
