42:52 The Race / Why do this race?
In the 1950s the Mexican government created a race to celebrate the opening of the Pan-American Highway. Canceled after only four years because of too many fatalities, and revamped in the late 80s, the rally today is widely considered the world's last truly great road race.
The seven-day road rally snakes its way through the heart of Mexico, From Veracruz on the Gulf to the mountain region of Zacatecas. The cars are required to be pre-1975 but can be modded to anything from enthusiasts to a Nascar-like setup with nearly 1000+ hp.
Classes divide the field of more than 80 competing teams running Porsches, Alfa Romeos, Mustangs, Studebakers, and many other vintage cars outfitted specifically for racing. The entire race is 100% legal as it is escorted by Federal police who compete for the honor to support the event.
John Benton from Benton Performance, a vintage Porsche shop in Anaheim, and their team runs a modified 1962 Porsche 356b in Sport Menor class competing for a shot at the title.
Costing a small fortune to even compete, La Carrera is an iconic event and as there isn't any substantial cash prize, what's at stake you might ask? Egos and bragging rights.
