final entry
Where would the 80's have been without this seminal icon?
"The car that made 'history' the future.... I mean the 'future' history...erm I mean made 'history' the future of history????... Ohhhh I gonna leave this one to you Doc'
I'm busy with the Delorean too, but it will look different. Nice work indeed. Looks like the clock tower scene

FINAL ENTRY
Ickx-treme: Chasing the field
24 h of Le Mans, 1969:
The Ford GT40 Gulf Team Design (plate No. 6)
that Jacky Ickx drove with Jackie Oliver was an obsolete car,
outperformed by the new Porsche 917 but also by the older Porsche 908 and
the new generation of 3-litre prototypes from Ferrari, Matra and Alfa Romeo.
As Ickx was opposed to the traditional Le Mans start which he considered to be dangerous,
he slowly walked across the track to his machine, instead of running.
He locked the safety belt carefully and thus was the last to start the race, chasing the field.
Ickx won the race by the smallest of competitive margins ever,
with less than 120 yards (110 m) between the two cars
Since then, traditional Le Mans Starts can be seen at traditional events only.
For more information see wikipedia and RSC

.Dream for Greater Speed.
RED BULL X2010
Known for pushing the limit of rules and physic. The car without rules enforce. Born the Red Bull X2010. It's regard as the boundries of automotive industry. Even though it's (still) a virtual, it's already show it's ability in the very own Red Bull windtunnel with the collabration with Polyphony Digital. It maybe a dream for now, but this car without a doubt can be born for real and already make it's name in the history of automotive.

Ayrton Senna getting his start in Karting
Q:"Who was your favourite opponent, past or present?"
Senna: "I would have to go back to 1979, when I was go-kart driving. His name was Fullerton. It was pure driving, real racing, no politics involved, no money involved either. That makes me happy."

FINAL ENTRY
Dan Gurney and AJ Foyt drove the Ford MKIV (J5) to victory in the 1967 Le Mans
setting a record of 5232.900km covered at an average speed of 135mph.
This is the only victory at the event by an all American team (car, drivers and team)
and was also the last time Ford took victory at Le Mans (the team not their cars).
It is also marked as the first occasion in which champagne was sprayed over the winning team and spectators,
by Dan Gurney, setting the trend for many years to come.

👍Hey thanks, the pic was inspired by footage from the film of Ayrton sliding his karts in perfect 4-wheel drifts.

FINAL ENTRY
Grand Valley East_4 by Erndog2k, on Flickr
First direct injection
The 300SL's engine, canted at a fifty-degree angle to the left to allow for a lower hoodline, was the same 3.0 litre straight-6 as the regular four-door 300. Fitted with a Bosch mechanical Gasoline direct injection system it had almost double the power of the original 86 kW (115 hp) carbureted version.
While not the first fuel-injected car - Mercedes engineers who had developed the principle for the DB 601 fighter aircraft engine had used fuel injection in the tiny 2-stroke Gutbrod they had designed after the War - it was the first to inject fuel directly into the cylinders. This innovation allowed a top speed of up to 260 km/h (161 mph) depending on gear ratio and drag, making the 300SL the fastest production car of its time.

McLaren F1
click for large image
On 31 March 1998, it set the record for the fastest road car in the world, topping at 231 mph (372 km/h) with rev limiter on, and 240 mph (386.24 km/h) with rev limiter removed. In 1994, the British car magazine Autocar stated in a road test regarding the F1, "The McLaren F1 is the finest driving machine yet built for the public road." and that "The F1 will be remembered as one of the great events in the history of the car, and it may possibly be the fastest production road car the world will ever see.".
