    These lads look knackered. Poor Elio, a tragic loss.

    Beautiful, simple but a very successful design. A work of art compared with today's monsters.

    We will never see these uncluttered lines again.
    Today's cars look like kites, IMO.

    Too bad those Weslake engines were so unreliable. I read that they were all virtually handmade and parts weren't necessarily interchangeable between them! The design apparently shared some features with the BRM V-12 that first appeared in late 1967 and didn't exactly have a glorious career itself.

    Audrey Woods, who designed the V12 Weslake commissioned by Gurney, previously worked on the V12 BRM.
    The V12 BRM, the V12 Weslake and the V12 Matra had some common DNA.

    Happy Birthday Stefan Johansson, born on this day 68 years ago.

    This is a famous photo but I'm not sure who to attribute it to . . . but I do think it's of Johansson . . . maybe . . .

    Walter Wolf failed to build Team Canada around Gilles Villeneuve as he intended.
