Synopsis

This book covers the Can-Am racing cars that contested the championship from 1966-1974. Chronologically ordered in rising levels of performance, they are detailed from the early Lola T70 through the McLaren years to the incredible 1100 horsepower, 240mph Porsche 917 that swept all before it in the penultimate year of the Can-Am.

Many other constructors represented, including Ferrari, Ford and Chaparral and also some of the lesser known cars like BRM and the ill fated Holman-Moody Honker II.

Aerodynamic innovation is also covered along with flipper rear wings and air brakes tried on the Ferrari 612P, and these ideas came under the microscope of the magazines of the day.

The freedom of the Can-Am regulations gave rise to some truly unique vehicles that would dramatically influence the shape and style of motor racing around the world, long after the championship itself had passed into history.

Also included are: track tests by well known drivers, comments from Bruce McLaren and inside information about the technicalities of the Can-Am. All of this has been collated to form a comprehensive contemporary overview of what went into producing those awesome Group 7 cars.
