vagen Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) this car shaped all cars that followed it. Quite possibly the most significant car of all time. Edited May 8, 2009 by vagen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiro Protagonist Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 (edited) Too busy/lazy to come up with a hard one, someone should get this pretty quickly What is this car, who drove it, and why is it so significant?

Felix Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Alfa Romeo BT46B (Fan Car), driven by Niki Lauda. The 'B' variant, commonly known as the Fan Car, was introduced at the 1978 Swedish Grand Prix. Following in the footsteps of the highly successful Lotus 79, the BT46B used down-force and aerodynamic techniques. A fan was used to extract air from beneath the car and create additional downforce for the vehicle. The fan was allowed because it was explained that it provided extra cooling for the vehicles components. The car saw competition in this configuration only once as it was declared illegal by the FIA. Its only race scored Niki Lauda a victory at the Swedish Grand Prix at Anderstorp. The two chassis were converted back to the standard BT46 configuration. The victory remained as the car had been considered legal when it raced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vagen Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 it's a Brabham Alpha driven by Niki Lauda but the significant thing is the huge fan sucking air from under the car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hiro Protagonist Posted May 8, 2009 Report Share Posted May 8, 2009 Alfa Romeo BT46B (Fan Car), driven by Niki Lauda. Brabham, not an Alfa :P (although it had an Alfa engine, it wasn't a factory team) Designed by the guy who did the McLaren F1 too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
