This Brabham-Offenhauser driven by Johnny Rutherford in the 1972 Indy 500. Looks like a forerunner to the Williams FW26. Apologies for the resurrection.

The BMW LMDh prototype does NOT look promising in the looks department.

That front end ruins the whole thing and the bodywork around the cockpit doesn't do the car any favours either.

What particularly irked me was they literally look the headlight decals (STICKERS FFS) off the NASCAR Ford of the time and pasted it on the DP. It didn't even fit the DP's headlight cutouts!

The GTR was a bespoke racecar prepared for the 1969 Le Mans 24 Hours but didn’t race due to a technicality in the regulations. The extremely low car was completely untested before arriving at Le Mans and a multitude of problems ensured it didn’t race.
At the core of the GTR was a fibreglass tub and a 1.3-liter engine from Lotus. Tony Hilder was responsible for the design which only weighed 600 kg. Aerodynamics were a huge part of the design which included a areofoil that was tested at the Kingston Polytechnic.
Unfortunately, the car suffered from multiple problems at Le Mans including the rear hatch coming off down the Mulsanne straight. Once the stewards banned the car from racing it was given to driver Tim Lalonde as reimbursement.
