When you look at the very best drivers or bike racers - and that includes John, there's a certain 'X factor' at play, a combination of perception and judgement that puts them in the right place at the right time more often than the law of averages dictates should happen. Gaps seem to open for them, but it's not down to chance. The fact Lundy didn't set foot in a race car until he was 23, built his own, and then grafted for 10 years to get to the top is incredible. An absolute legend.
Such a shame that Lundy's cars these days have more in common with banger racing as they are so poorly turned out, the green machine has bodge engineering stamped all over it as as for the tar car it's embarrassing and cringe worthy to say the least...........Not sure what's happened as there is no doubt to John's driving talent.

Just reading Lundy's book and have got as far as year 2000 WF so thought I'd re-live it
See lundy win five worlds but not this one. From mi 80s to mid 90s he was way ahead of them all.
