\"\"<\/a>
\nA number of ground-shaking Can-Am cars also took part, including the Revs Institute\u2019s Porsche 917PA, the unique Castrol-liveried BRM P154, the Ferrari 712 \u2014 the largest displacement car ever made by the Scuderia \u2014 and a rare March 717-Chevrolet.
\nAlso on the schedule were the popular Michelin Supercar Run, the monstrous Group B rally cars on the Forest Rally Stage and demonstration runs by Martin Brundle in Jenson Button\u2019s F1 championship-winning Brawn BGP 011 and Button himself aboard a McLaren MP4\/6-Honda.
