Yes please - a very beautiful and historic car raced by A J Foyt, Richie Ginther and Jim Clark - you can't have too many Can Am cars in a game!

Not a very good car by all accounts. It used a 351 Ford V8 and was the final attempt at a large displacement sports car by Lotus. The previous Lotus sportscar the 30 was Ford 289 powered and was also a beautiful, but flawed car. When Richie Ginther was interviewed and asked what do you think of the new Lotus 40 he reportedly said "Same as the 30, but with 10 more mistakes!"

That is amazing and reminds me a bit of Chaparral. This one is plain beauty!
