Just this week I watched a video on the Indy 500 and the cars/drivers of the 1970's. This was the time I was first exposed to racing on TV & magazines. Can you craft the dihedral winged Vels-Parnelli shown in the first few seconds of this video? (from 8 to 11 seconds....right at the beginning)
I just saw that car on Monday when I had the RV serviced in Scottdale AZ. Penske Museum is across the street from the MB dealer. Penske's dealers on that corner includes Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini, Bentley, Rolls Royce, Aston Martin, Austin, Jaguar, Land Rover, BMW and Porsche. Took a Taycan AWD for a test drive. Sweet. Anyway here's a shot. I forgot to mention; I saw this car win at Indy in 1972, last year my dad took me to Indy.
The wierd part of that history, is that all three drivers HATED the V wing. So for that season they took off the angled wings and put a huge rear wing on the back. But NOW, all the cars have been restored to the original configuration.
Yes !, amazing Chief, 70's Indy cars like this McLaren, Foyts 73' Coyote, the Parnelli VPJ's, now need a period correct version of Indy, rF2's been needing vintage Indy, with cars to go with it.
