NEVER will racing be as good as this again.

When giants roamed the earth...

@LPcustom76 It is, in Europe... Sometime. Have a look at the DTM or the World series by Renault. My theory is this: racing was made to be simple and great, but it was so simple that some (McLaren, Shadow, Porsche, Penske) make it complicated in less than 10 years, by having costly winning car, and than quit to find more profit elsewhere (F1, Indycar, Le Mans), living high-cost car to poor team and hi-expectation to the public. The solution: having complex rules to keep racing simple.

Great cars! Lotus 19, Maserati Birdcage and Cooper Monaco - it is not Can-Am anyway. Can-Am series started a year later. This was a US sports car series. I do not remember the exact name. It was born when all those american racing fans purchasing european cars had the desire to race with all those wonderful machines.
