LULU WANG substantially shortened her #3 1962 250 Ferrari GTO in the corkscrew Friday morning, but not to worry, she was not hurt and her husband, ANTHONY WANG, had two more Ferrari GTO's in the Group 7A race on Saturday, a 1963 Ferrari 330 LMB that he drove and his 1963 Ferrari 250 LMB that LOU SELLYEI drove. One of the other drivers in the GTO race was FREDERICO KROYMANS, who having recovered from wrecking his F1 Ferrari earlier in the day had a spectacularly long spin in his #160 Ferrari 250 GTO, but rejoined the race and finished fourteenth.
