Le Monstre

When, or what will it take to have these racing at Le Mans? Would like to see them throw down with the Vette's, Aston's, Porsche's, and Ferrari's. After all, they are the Mick's arch enemy in road going configuration.

Thus why the American mind is turning to slush. It's no longer called news as far as I'm concerned, it's just rating races to me. Let's pander to all the moms out there watching this instead of asking question Congress did not

Well, the outcome is for the courts to decide, but for D.P. to go after a reporter for that amount, and literally bankrupt him is not the most humble thing to hear. If he feared inexperienced people driving it, a proper rev limiter could of been installed. It's a he said, shes said, what condition the car was in, but

I wish I could give you more recommendations, but I guess 1 will do. One day, I hope to go to their museum. I would need an all week pass.

Not only a single era, but usually uncontested really. Not until Peugeot stepped in and then Toyota did they really take notice that there was competition.

Yes. I do feel sorry his career was cut short while filming Le Mans, but the whole 917 deal has tainted his image for sure.

The color, so much yes, the driver himself, no.

Briggs Cunningham would like to have a word with you.

That's the first thing I noticed. Possibly not talking to someone, even hands free, may have allowed him to inspect the intersection better, and advance his reaction. Looks like he didn't take notice till point seconds until impact.

main reason I feel is that this type of racing is the last type of racing where rules are relaxed enough to allow each competitor bring what they feel is the best interpretation of the rules, both chassis and engine. Audi diesel 3.7 V6, Porsche 2.0 V4 and Toyota N/A 3.4 V8, and they were all within striking distance

Simply the best! I bought a Autoart 1/18 just so I had a reason to drool when I got home.

F1 has gone past the point of no return really. Kind of happened in the 80`s when they began to wind in the turbo boost, ground effects, and the "jungle juice" fuel. Group C started taking the racing world by storm, and it took an absurd new set of rules to literally kill Group C, and put F1 back into the lime light.

The new small block/big block conversion engine? Id put that in my 3000GT if I had a garage :D

Sweet mother of god, I want one as bad as my house paid off. And its 25 years+ old..... So much for putting kids through college.

Honestly, as a GM tech, the recall parts they are giving us are so cheap. Right now we have a seatbelt recall that removes a rubber shroud, an install a piece of shrink wrap on the cable, and an airbag recall where we cut the airbag connector out, and hardwire the wires with solder. All good and well, but when we have

I got to ride in this very chassis by accident in 05'. Joey Hand was my driver, and those two glorious laps instantly convinced me to go up to the Skip Barber tent, and slap a down payment for the 3 day racing school. I almost didn't get a ride because of my height. We finally got the belt situation fixed, and you'd

Let's not forget some unique things about it, such as the Gulf Wyer cars were the first race cars to incorporate carbon fiber in their bodywork, beating McLaren by a few weeks, and the MkIV was the most state of the art race car in it's time, using aluminum honeycomb sandwich for the monocoque.

In 1999, it was the first prototype race car with a front engine/rear wheel drive layout since 1965. It was epic in every way.

My S/N isn't Le Monstre for nothing. Love that car. If you would like to see it in person, as well as the more, ahem, "stock" version that finished ahead of it, and other Cunningham cars. The REVS Institute in Naples Florida has opened it's doors to the public, I highly suggest a trip to there.
