@flugplatz21 to gravedig.. if you complete in local rallies you can drive your race car to work. it's not nearly the same as a top tier grand prix car, but you can still drive a purpose built race car as a daily driver.

@moshambles It's not like your local Midas has a carbon fiber oven! Those were the days, tech gaps were smaller. The engineer mentioned, Ulenhaut, drove what was essentially a LeMans Prototype as a commuter car! It's why I love my local club track. You can see local guys drive the wheels off cars they built themselves. Pure racing.

And you could just buy one, and hire the other, for rates which, by no means cheap, could yet be managed by any reasonably well heeled individual by writing a personal check.
The frickin' lawyers ruin everything, don't they?

Can you imagine it today? Local mechanics driving the cars to the circuit. Wonderful!

look at those D50's! Still fully Lancia at that time - fabulous
Wonderful! Maybe it wasn't the best car - the Mercedes really were better built and engineered car, but the 250F was surely the best looking! A real icon, like Moss...
