Absolutely love this car. Slow in a straight line, but so much downforce, it was incredible. There is fairly little on this car on the internet I believe.

Why was it that they thought in the 60s that the wings must be 10 meters up in the air to be good and work ? Somehow it feels like they lacked rational thinkin back then, i mean air is air wheter its 10meters above the car or 10cm above it...
