Look at it closely, trust your eyes.

Then notice the Fred Lewis Copyright.

When the poster says it's a day late April Fools, I think you should take their word of it - just say'n.

I liked the fake drag car photos, well done compared to the fake 917 stuff.

Somehow a dune buggy is on the race track at the same time as a Porsche 917 is real, now that blows my mind.

A composite photo showing the Deserter GS Volkswagen going into turn three at Daytona trailed by the Gulf training 917K. The accident would happen on the infield dog-leg between turns four and five. (Lou Galanos photo)

It was a real event, but composite photo put together to tell the story of a crash between a dune buggy and a Porsche 917.

Just an example of when people take the time to clarify their intent in a professional manner.

The guy making these fake 917 photos is a friend of mine. He is also the writer of the article in Sports Car Digest, Lou Galanos. He's been doing it for years on 4/1. These pics show up on other forums and guys swear they are real. All in good fun for Lou.

Well, it may be fun for him but others like myself have to put up with the resulting chaos and guys like poor confused sammy.

Tyrrell P34
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrrell_P34

Quote:

P34's basic concept was to use a tyre that would be small enough to fit entirely behind the wing. This would have two effects; one would be to lower overall drag and thus improve speed on straights, and the other was to clean up overall aerodynamics so the rear wing would receive cleaner airflow.[2]
