I know its a tart's car and anybody with any feeling would drive a Lotus!
 Well maybe but it occurred to me that whilst its a bit of a plugger rather than an out and out sprinter the car does have some merits take a look here and you'll see that in its day it could hold its head up with the best of them. Of course that result came as Le Mans was changing from pure road sports cars to a more "supercar" type of car hence the GT40 and others on the entry list. In those days they ran a 3 bearing crank and AFAIK the App K regs say they have to do so now. That being so and with all the new materials available to them why don't they appear to do so well in competiton now? Presumably they can run the lightweight bodywork and the Dellorto or Weber carb. Yet cars that couldn't keep up then seem to run away. Just a thought but why is it? |
