    He didn't have to qualify either if I remember correctly. It rained on Sat and they started based on points - a further testimonial to his chassis and crew.
    Maybe it rained in '94, I don't remember...

    I was at the Nazareth race that year and he beat the

    Mansel was 19 seconds ahead of Scott Goodyear at the
    finish and on the same lap. No quite almost 2
    laps.

    At Nazareth, 19 seconds is a lap. So, for all intents, Mansell had a lap
    on the field and two laps on all but Goodyear.

    I was also at that one. Mansell definitely made it look easy that day.
