The 65th anniversary of Ecurie Ecosse’s sensational debut win in the world’s most prestigious sports car endurance event, the Le Mans 24 hours race, takes place on Thursday [29th]. As the Glasgow Herald’s Special Correspondent reported from the venue at the time, “The greatest success in Scottish motor racing history was achieved today by Ecurie Ecosse who won the 24 hour race amid tremendous scenes of enthusiasm.” Co drivers Ron Flockhart from Edinburgh and Ninian Sanderson from Glasgow completed 2,521 miles at an average speed of 105 mph in their ‘D’ Type Jaguar, registration number MWS 301, at times reaching over 155mph down the Mulsanne straight. Although very different characters, Flockhart a charming gentlemanly type and Sanderson a wild rebellious sort fond of a prank, the pair combined effectively on this occasion.

That doesn’t account for the billions in other infrastructure needs, from drinking water and sewers to roads and bridges. Federal estimates say fixes and updates to the nation’s water infrastructure system could cost $188 billion over the next 20 years, said Laura Rubin, director of the Healing Our Waters Great Lakes Consortium, which focuses on Great Lakes restoration issues. Michigan’s share of that is about $15 billion. “That’s not even taking the disasters and increased precipitation into account,” Rubin said. “We know we’ve been under-investing in it.” The infrastructure bill now under consideration in Congress would spend $1.2 trillion on a range of projects, including roads, bridges, broadband and public transportation. It would also include $55 billion toward water improvement.
