    He was a living legend, and I had the pleasure of meeting him once, very briefly, at his Connecticut based Volvo dealer. Congenial, charismatic, a true gentleman.

    I'm afraid we shall never see another man of this caliber again, at least in my lifetime.

    My goodness, anyone that has spent that much time behind the wheel of race Datsuns is a legend in my book.

    I once heard about him GT racing a few years before he died on a supremely outdated Corvette and snagging a win. The car was numbered something in the seventies, 78 I believe. That was his age at the time. #paulnewman

    I see 8 black "Mr Fusion"s in the back, but I am not seeing the flux capacitor. This would clearly be an issue.

    After reading about the development of the 917 in "Unfair Advantage", I'll have to go with Can-Am. Mark Donahue convinced the Porsche powertrain engineers that he needed enough power to break the wheels loose on the long straights.

    I love Group B, but Can-Am was a big part of how I first experienced motorsport. I can still hear that roar..and the names..McLaren, Hulme, Donahue, Revson, Gurney, Surtees, Stewart..and so on. Here's some photos of back in the day

    Let us look at the facts:
    Can-Am- Had Chaparral

    Group B- Not a single Chaparral

    Obviously Can-Am wins.

    Not to mention Group B was totally corporate, Can-Am was full of driver engineers that built their own machines or small companies.

    BTW - For those who have never been to Road America, the long straight that includes the start/finish also has a long, uphill climb, it is the longest straight on the course but not the fastest because of the incline. To watch, hear and FEEL thirty or so hyper-powered Can-Am cars pounding up that hill to the start is... a shattering experience.
