Matra - Simca at the 1970 Daytona 24

The Matra-Simca MS650 of Jean-Pierre Beltoise and Henri Pescarolo obviously having problems at the 1970 24 Hours of Daytona. The car was equipped with a 3-liter V12 and finished 18th (215 laps behind the winning Porsche 917). Their major problem seemed to be defective distributor rotors. They kept breaking and they kept replacing them until their supply ran out. They even tried gluing the broken pieces of the rotor together but they didn't last. Finally they appealed over the public address system for specific spectator cars that had the same type of distributor. In order to be classified as finishing the race they parked their cars in the pits until the last couple of minutes of the race and then slowly drove them around to the finish line.
