Here’s a bunch of BS. Thought it was open wheel
Open cockpits racing. Might as well drive a mclaren View attachment 146833
I don't agree there..It's not the 70's..Having your stars of the sport get killed is bad business.I saw a dude get hit in the head with a chuck of carbon fiber at Pocono in a Indy car..Guy died...You can race cars and not die..J

Do completely agree there; killing drivers (and spectators) is definitely not good. Sadly, we all know ghouls who watch solely for the wrecks...my thumb's up was around the McLaren comment. Because, as noted...I don't get them.

Driver dies during the race..You have to red flag the event and everyone goes home pissed...NASCAR has gone as far putting tethers on everything...It stays all attached to the car and you scoop all the shit up and move on..It is all about entertainment and motorsports competes with a lot of other areas..Gotta keep your fan base happy..J

I really don't think those are that bad..Kinda cool looking IMO....I'm gonna match your turd...This car had enough power to make things interesting, but I'm not sure it would stop...I worked on one of these and it was a POS...Lancia Delta.

The Caddy looks cool, but was SO underpowered. Vettes were making 400bhp, and they shoved that crappy 320hp "Northstar" V8 in it instead...just a miss.

Lancia is interesting...such a varied history. But no matter what, I am NOT a hatch guy. And that things screams "VW Rabbit"...

Speaking of Lucas...
[/QUOT
I don't even know WTF that is..Some kind of Triumph? Ugly, no power, and a terrible swing axle rear suspension design...My turn...If you sold dope in the 80s this was your dream ride.
