Sometimes I find interesting pics of other series, but don't want to start a new thread for that series race or for the series itself. Therefore I have started a thread for random pics of random racing series.

Feel free to contribute and discuss.

My two for the day...

ALMS - Mosport

Interesting to see that the corvette and porsches need their tracks widened for racing, whereas the ferrari doesn't (unless I am mistaken).

Pretty sure that back end of the Ferrari is much wider than stock. Ferraris don't leave the ship with body kits slapped on. All race cars are widened to the max they can be, there is little reason to not.

Don't like indycar but this shot is quite nice:



plus some historic racing at Spa:


PS: that GT2 Vette looks like the C3 Stingray from the back

The Corvette C6.RGT is a whopping 2.7 inches wider than the stock ZR1. That's not really 'needing' to widen it.

Risi Competitzione do not provide any tech specs that I can find.

Would be nice to see people at least try to do some fact checking around here.

What I find quite interesting from that shot is the Penske driver seems to be sunk further into the car! Compared to the other drivers/pilot.

He's higher up the banking so that must be vertical G shrinking him.


j/k

I suppose they don't haev spec driver height yet?

A guess would be Dixon, Rahal, Wilson???

I've read it was the only GT40 with a steel monocoque, all the rest were aluminum.

John Wyer's Mirage spyder GT40 derivative of 1970

A rare on-track appearance of the Ford3000 driven by Richard Attwood

Ford C100 Cosworth V8 (3.9L?)

Ferrari P330... a car so beautiful that no woman has ever dared to pose beside it

Ferrari P312 driven by Chris Amon... one of the most talented drivers never to earn a WDC

They probably circulated like that for several laps .

OK I'm envious about a race series that can have 3 cars abreast like that. However, I just don't "get" oval racing.

Picture request: a high res image of the 1999 BTCC Honda Accord on-track.

And no, not a Google Images job - I've already searched that multiple times

Thanks in advance

This one, just so you know...
