I’ve been fortunate to have driven a lot of racecars, both those I’ve raced and those I’ve driven to try to teach them manners, to shake them down for people who own them and have maybe just had them put together. So, I would have to say Alfa Giuliettas are nifty, especially when judged against their contemporaries, and Lotus 23s are pretty wonderful cars, it seems like you can’t make one be bad. BT29 Brabhams are pretty good, and Lola T70s are sort of like a giant Lotus 23, just real pleasant and easy-to-drive cars that kind of help you rather than hinder you. They seem to want to do what you’re asking them to do.
Ralt RT4s were really good cars, and they were a good car for a long time. I think they helped keep Formula Atlantic staggering along when it was in pretty bad shape. They were such good cars that anybody could go pretty well in one. They were easy to maintain, strong and pretty simple—other than all the fiberglass that went with them. They were also readily updatable.
