Well done Mr Mistro!

787B indeed.
It was the only non-reciprocating engined car to win Le Mans, and also the only victory by a Japaneese marque (according to wiki)

That's the game that got me intersted in it
I was looking for another car, to post on here, from Gran Turismo but can't remember which one it was from, or what it was called.
All i can remember is the back being completely square and looking like it had 2 washing machines powering it.
But my god was it fast

[The_Mistro]

My favourite Le Mans car of all time. Tri-rotor wankel engine screaming like a bee. Lovely.

[Trail of Dead]

This resembles a Bricklin SV-1....the bank manager at Northwest Savings Bank back home used to have a nice Safety Orange SV-1....

Surley they other way round? the Brickling is trying to be the Miura

Heres a couple more to show what a stunning piece of automotive design it was:-

Spyder


Flip front? Nah flip front and rear

Ohhh nice but lets not start on tractors or there will be Fendts, Claas and Massey all over the place

I've never heard of a Miura which is why I thought it resembled a Bricklin. As for the tractor....Lolz! A Porsche Tractor! I thought that pic was so funny I HAD to save it to my HDD!

Reminds me of another one... Rover JET1 (gas turbine powered)



And the BRM (to race in Le Mans):

Different colour but surely the same car

[Naif_Wolves]

Chaparral 2J race Car 1970, duno where i got peugeot or toyota from!

I've just remembered what that car was, found a picture, went to post it here, then saw this.
MISTRO YOU'VE RUINED MY LIFE.
A little bit of info though...

In addition to a powerful 700 hp engine, and a three-speed semi automatic transmission, the back of the 2J housed two 17-inch fans driven by a 45 hp snowmobile engine. The Can Am Series had no engine size limit, so the two snowmobile engines weren't affected by an engine displacement maximum. The purpose of the fans was to 'suck' air from under the car to provide downforce.

Three speed

However, the rest of the Chaparral cars are still f****n lush...

Chaparral 2D




Chaparral 2F
