Eagle Aircaft Flyer Special 1982

[gasmonkey25]

It is hard to believe, but the Indianapolis 500 used to be a showcase for extremely innovative designs such as the Eagle Aircraft Special Flyer 1982 .

Nicknamed "The Cropduster " ,it was powered by a Chevy V8 and driven by Ken Hamilton (father of the latest IndyCar driver Davey Hamilton) . Unfortunately , he could not run fast enough to qualify among the top 33 cars and , unfortunately , never enrolled in another career.

That's an.... interesting design.

Wow that looks crazy and unnecessarily long. Innovative but failed to qualify in the top 33 equals innovative but not that quick.

I would happily welcome it to GT7 though.

...The very phrase "Ambitious But Rubbish" comes to mind.

 

[CORRUPTEDDISC]

Love it. Oddball and forgotten, so I pretty much automatically want it on GT.

Yes, it was indeed a miserable car on the track, but a very special design.

Oddball and forgotten

Totally agree.


Here is a bigger picture.

It looks WE-IRD! That's putting it mildly.
