John H. Horsman standing in front of a display of Gulf race cars in a Tucson Classic car show a few years ago. John was a remarkable man and a good friend.

These are some of John's original notes on aerodynamics of the GT40 compared to other race cars

I also have some vintage photos of P1075 & P1076, John Wyer, and others that I can post if there is any interest.

I love that photo. They wanted it streamlined and so no rear view mirrors other the interior one that looks at the carbs.

Awesome stuff Neil, thanks for sharing!!!

What better place to share these photos? We have an informal group of guys who meet for lunch in Tucson every Thursday and John was a regular member of our group. He assisted me in building my black Mirage and preparing it to run at Bonneville. At the end, his health failed badly and he was in great pain so it was a blessing when he passed on. John was one of the good guys!
