The lifeblood of Ferrari, particularly in the early years, was competition. It is a widely held belief that the creation of road-going versions of the competition sports cars existed almost solely to support Il Commendatore’s racing effort. In many instances, engineering advances developed for battle can be traced directly to the road cars, such as the pioneering, weight-balancing use of the transaxle from the 275 series GTs. … [Read more...]

Yet another of the fruitful collaborations between Lotus and Ford was the Cortina. On both sides of the Atlantic in the early 1960s, Ford wanted to boost its performance image. When Walter Hayes arrived at Ford of Great Britain in 1962, he headed a public affairs department that pitched the idea of a sporty version of their upcoming saloon car, the Cortina. Given Lotus's incredible success in racing and their adoption of Ford's own Kent engine … [Read more...]
The 1970 season proved to be a milestone for Porsche racing in a number of respects. After winning the International Championship for Makes in 1969 with the 908/2, and concurrently introducing the soon-to-be-dominant 917, Porsche officially bowed out of factory team racing, thereafter supplying cars and development expertise to John Wyer Racing, with alternative support to the Porsche Salzburg team (soon to morph into the Martini Racing team). … [Read more...]
MG's J-Type, in its various guises, had a relatively short lifespan from 1932 to 1934. When compared to the impressive run of the T-Series or the incredible eighteen years of the MGB, the J-Type seems like a flash in the pan, but it was nevertheless an important contribution to the MG story and really one of the quintessential small sports cars of the 1930s. The J2 especially was a nice representation of what MG as most of us know and love it was … [Read more...]
While the American pony cars were duking it out for the Trans-Am title in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the smaller sedan classes also put on memorable shows across North America, and BMW's wildly popular 2002 could be seen mixing it up with Alfas, Datsun 510s, and even the odd Volvo. Trans-Am flagged by 1974 while IMSA began to flourish, but the BMW 2002 has been a popular choice for competition ever since it first turned a wheel in anger. … [Read more...]
After winning the very first Can-Am championship in 1966 and the 24 Hours of Daytona in 1969, the Lola T70-Chevrolet has become one of the most popular historic racing cars of them all. Part of that is because the T70 is such a great looking car, whether it's a Mk II or a Mk IIIB, a Coupe or a Spyder. They look good in any color, too, from the Sunoco-sponsored blue car that won Daytona to David Piper's bright green one. Another reason for the … [Read more...]
Bill Devin is perhaps quite well-known for making some of the best American road racing specials in the 1950s, such as the Chevy-powered SS. He also made a name for himself, however, as one of the earliest and most successful makers of fiberglass kit bodies for production chassis. Many sports car publications of the 1950s and early 1960s featured advertisements for Devin's Italian-inspired fiberglass body kits. Devin's shop in California also … [Read more...]
Any Jaguar with a period racing history is a car to look out for, but add the word "alloy" and you get something else altogether. Just this five letter word alone conjures up images of gleaming metalwork and purposeful racing machines. William Lyons' masterpiece, the XK120, was not only one of the definitive postwar sports cars, it also wore aluminum skin on a few precious examples. Before Jaguar was able to get moulds for the steel bodied … [Read more...]
