I think there was a much better chance that car would end up upside down than a GT40 - could be wrong. Many were involved in some quite spectacular incidents - and I can't recall any drivers leaving the scene.
I don't recall the thickness of the aluminum tub in that car but I am betting it wasn't much more than .060". |
Pat how big is the cockpit on the Formula Atlantic?? How about the quality of drivers racing versus that litlle old lady who should have stopped driving years earlier? Just a thought or two.
