Wrong category, but didn't you sneak the 1972 Vels-Parnelli VPJ-1 Indycar in one of these threads?
Sure would be fun to see it... I'm not sure they ever raced the car in this configuration..at the Indy 500 they took off the angled wings and used a large, large rear wing. Driver's never trusted the angled wings...3 big named drivers Mario, Al Unser Sr, & Joe Leonard. (well known to early '70's racing fans in the States that is) I can't remember if those slots in the angled wings were for more cooling or a 2nd downforce channel. Looks like 3 distinct configurations.
