He also drove a F.1 Lotus at Monarco</div><div>Anyway when he drove one of the Porsches he thought it handled badly and was not backward in advising the Porsche factory mechanics. Paul claimed the wheel alignment was out. Team Porsche said this is impossible as it was set at the factory and consquently a mere driver should not change it. Hawkins being a hands-on mechanic ( he did own a BN.2 in Australia ) said crap and got 4 oil drums and some string and his favourite spanner. On completion of the re-alignment he then went out and was some seconds faster. Job done.</div><div><br></div><div>Moral of the story is 4 corner objects and some string will do it. </div><div><br></div><div>For those who have not viewed it take a look at Paul and Timo Makinen at work in a 'works' 3000 ABL 92B ( ? ) at the Targa.
