French motorways aren"t enormously scary places, unless a) there"s a stray dog running across the carriageway and you have to stop quite quickly (true story), or b) if you"re in a Ferrari 812 Superfast and it"s raining very heavily indeed. Not just any old rain. Proper rain. End of days rain. This, mixed with a 789bhp, rear-drive, V12-engined Ferrari renown for being a little bit, well, spiky, means French motorways suddenly become quite scary indeed. Perfect time to ponder on anything other than not-oversteering-into-a-ditch at the slightest sneeze. Ponder on the fact that 70 years ago on this very day 26 June, 1949 Ferrari scored its first ever Le Mans win; the first of nine outright wins it would achieve at the fabled 24-hour marathon over the next couple of decades.
