My colleague Tim Considine cordially feels I was unfair in my recent column about Cooperโs development of mid-engined race cars. Not for anything I wrote about Cooper; he protested my saying the mid-engined Auto Unions of the 1930s won races through โoccasional good luck.โ
A meticulous and caring historian (vide his award-winning โAmerican Grand Prix Racingโ from MBI Publishing), Tim urged me to take a closer look.
