the top one is the Alfa 177, not a bad looking car for its time
the bottom is the BT46, Brabhams way of getting the ground effects to work

Falconcobra you are the winner!
The BT-46 with it's flat 12 cylinder and ground effects made it very unique. Look how low the bodywork was on this unique vehicle.
I kinda like unique F1 cars...one of a kind engineering marvels.

OK, the Chaparral was not F1, but this one was and is on display at Donnington.
I'm always trying to throw you off and make it interesting. Huge hint: look at the big front tires.

I must have stumped you guys!  It's a Kieth Duckworth/Cosworth DMV engined 4 wheel drive car from the late 60's. Handled like a brick, as most 4 wheel drive F1 cars did because of the added weight on the front. This also explains the wider than normal front tires. BRM P67, Lotus 63 and 56B, Matra MS84, McLaren M9A, and the Fergusen P99 Climax were other 4 wheel drive cars tested for F1. None of them had much success, other than an engineering study. -giz |
