Renowned race reporter Denis Jenkinson (DSJ) was Motor Sport's Continental Correspondent and covered F1, sports cars and other events in his idiosyncratic and knowledgable way. He was motorcycle sidecar world champion in 1949 and navigated Stirling Moss to a sensational win in the 1955 Mille Miglia in the factory Mercedes 300SLR. He used his monthly Letter to the Editor and Continental Notes columns to give readers the full background on what was going on.  In 1969 Jackie Stewart wins his first title in the Matra-Cosworth for Tyrrell. Other teams scramble to make 4wd F1 cars handle. Porsche 908s clean up in sports cars, beating the  GT40, the Lola T70 and the Ferrari 312P into the minor placings. But at Le Mans an astonishing wheel-to-wheel battle between Jackie Ickx's GT40 and Hans Herrmann's 908 in the last hour saw the Ford win by 100 metres after covering 4,988kms in 24 hours. The Bruce and Denny show continues apace in North America. Mercedes unveils the C111 Wankel and Porsche unveils the 914.
