Interesting the combination of cars that they tried over the years. Roger Huntington did a small section on it in "Design nad Development of the Indycar" - bottom line is it was faster in the turns but slower on the straights so it worked out to be an average car....

Anyway, your turn!!

You are correct. :up:

I figured it was an easy one but Didier Theys is such a nice guy and it's a cool photo. Perfect for my :bounce: 1000th :bounce: post.

Your Turn.

Though you'd all get a kick out of this photo of Johnny Carson getting ready to turn some laps in a Lotus turbine.

Phoenix -- My wife and I got to meet Didier in the paddock at a Meadowlands GP way back when. A very nice man, indeed.
