He had some sort of paranoia about how much cooling he'd need ! The engine looks pretty small in proportion to the size of the cooling supply - is it a boxer configuration ?

Wendax · June 19, 2013, 10:24:25 AM

Sorry, I don't have any information about the engine.

pnegyesi · June 24, 2013, 04:23:56 AM

Do you know the race where the car was photographed?

To save you some time, I don't think it is any of the Vanderbilt Cup editions - I looked through every participant I could find and none of them looked similar.
