That footage is reminiscent of Bellof’s fatal accident in 1985, though the Bellof crash was on the uphill section just past the pits.

The regulatory question these incidents provoke could more likely be this:

I guess they won’t need to program the cars to make right turns.

I’m old enough to remember seeing parts of it on TV (ABC’s Wide World of Sports?). It was fun to watch, though it seemed that Mark Donohue ran away with it, as if his and Penske’s role in organizing it gave them an insider advantage. The oval-series drivers from Indy and especially NASCAR, (Petty, Allison, and…

Only 15 IROC RSRs were produced in ‘74, and they included features that distinguished it from the conventional 911, including matte black headlamp covers, quick-release trunk catches, an external fire extinguisher, wide Fuchs alloy wheels, a large rear spoiler, and that handsome Sahara Beige paint scheme.

So many possible answers. I would nominate the Ford Pinto Rallye:

I agree -It’s an interesting idea in theory, but the proportions don’t look right.

Also - Here it is with its sister cars in the pits at LeMans before the start of the 1967 LeMans 24 hour race. Cars #1, 2, and 57 were entered by Carroll Shelby’s team, Cars #3, 4, and 5 by Holman-Moody and Car #6 by Ford of France.

I once saw a 1967 Ford GT40 MkIV with documented racing history from the 1967 LeMans 24 Hour race being driven on public roads. It’s owned by Jim Glickenhaus, who now has started his own LeMans/Sportscar team. I got a chance to talk about it, and he registers his historic racing cars for road use in part to document…

I learned to drive on a 1960's American “compact” car like this (in my case, a Plymouth Valiant). They weren’t too fun to drive, with drum brakes and slow-geared unassisted steering. I’ll bet this Rambler drives similarly.

“Washington Football Team Established 1932" isn’t authentically 1990's.

“Washington Football Team Established 1932" isn’t authentically 1990's.

With BMW and Audi discontinuing manual transmissions, it’s ironic that Cadillac, the stereotypical American “old-man’s car”, is the last marque to offer a 6MT sport sedan.

I watched the 1st episode last night, and one thing bothers me that nobody seems to have mentioned:

While they’re not Tyrrell documentaries as such, two films cover some of that territory:

Exactly - This reminds me of the old saying “It’s more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow.”

Fun fact: Phil Hill was on the old TV quiz show “To Tell The Truth” back in October 1961, after he’d clinched the F1 WDC for that year:

Colin Chapman “Millionaire” Documentary

To the extent Beebe had a complaint with Ken Miles, it was that Miles tended to ignore team orders when it suited his purposes. Miles raced team mate Dan Gurney very hard for the lead in the early hours of the 1966 Sebring 12 hour race, which angered Carroll Shelby and led to pit signals for both drivers to ease off…

Dave Friedman also published the book Shelby GT40 back in the 1990's. It’s been reprinted since. It covers a lot of the same material, with quotes from the principals, including Miles, Beebe, McLaren, etc. I suspect it draws on most of the same source material as Ken Miles: The Shelby American Years, particularly…

Cosmetically, this car is built to resemble the 1966 version of the Ford GT40 MkII, with the big air scoops on the tail section. The original GT40 had 4.7-liter (289 Cu. Inch) engine, but no large scoops.
