I always thought 'Jenks' invented pace notes, first used in the 1955 Mille Miglia in a Mercedes 300SLR driven by Stirling Moss

   


...it seems they were actually first used by Hans Klenk in the 1952 La Carrera Panamericana in a Mercedes 300SL driven by Karl Kling

Klenk was temporarily knocked unconscious by a vulture that crashed through the windscreen...Kling & Klenk won
