Maybe they did get a little carried away with coloring the different air pressures and air velocities.

That't the potential LSR vehicle that is basically a wingless F-104.

Yea, it's in the link I provided.

Funny thing is I built a model of this concept in 1971 when I was 11 years old.

I used some hot rod model tires, just glued them to the body.

The IROC

In October 1973, twelve of the top drivers in the world were invited to compete in IROC, the International Race of Champions....................

But a car that could live up to the occasion was now needed.

What Donohue helped steer the development of was a hybrid of the 1973 2.8 RSR and the 1974 3.0 RS.

1965 Rover-BRM Turbine Le Mans Road Racer

Back in the early 1950’s the Rover Company built the JET 1, the worlds first gas turbine car. After experimenting with it for many years, Rover linked up with BRM and ran the car at Le Mans in 1963. Because the race sanctioning had no place to classify this car it ran as an “Experimental” and would have come in eighth but was “officially” unplaced. In 1965 the Rover-BRM Turbine was officially classified as a 2-litre car and was driven by World Champions Sir Jackie Stewart and Graham Hill. Graham was quoted as saying, ” it sounds like a 707 is behind you and about to devour you like some sort of enormous monster”. The engine powering the 2S/150/R was the initial evolution of small simple gas turbines of good fuel economy experiments and was rated somewhere around 145 shp.

On this, the 50th anniversary of the “official” running of the car at the famous 24 hour race at Le Mans, the car preformed well. Stewart and Hill finished 10th overall and averaged close to 99 mph. The car was shown around for a few years and in 1974 it was retired and is now placed in the Heritage Motor Centre in Gaydon England.

The 3,600 km figure was achieved with hours to spare, and with peak speeds down the Mulsanne Straight exceeding 140 mph. The overall averages were of 107.8 mph and 6.97 mpg. As the only car in its class it was unplaced, but its performance by a petrol engined car would have placed it in 8th place.

1964 Le Mans For the 1964 season, the major change was the addition of a pair of ceramic rotary regenerators to the gas turbine, so as to improve efficiency. Although often reported as "heat exchangers", these use a different technique. Two honeycomb disks rotate slowly at 20 rpm with both inlet and exhaust airflows passing through them, but separately. This heats the disk, which then rotates, and in turn heats the inlet air. Regenerators slightly restrict the peak power of a gas turbine, but hugely increase its efficiency in compensation.
