        I remember an article about that 164 stating that it basicly scared the shit out of the test driver, Patrese I think, F1 performance with sedan aero apparently made for a scary ride.

          A F1 Team did competitively race a 4WD car didn't they ? Maybe around the early 70's or earlier maybe ?

          If I remember correctly it still had the tradational sized wheels (back being bigger)

                  The Cosworth 4WD F1 racer is on display at the York Motor Museum in WA. I was there over the Rally Oz week. It has a little story about how and why it was not raced. Basically money and a change in direction of F1 at that time.

                      LIFE L190 F1 car. It attended 14 Grand Prix but did not pre-qualify once. And yes it was driven by an Aussie.

                        How could I forget the Toyota LuMPy project, one of my favourite looking sports cars. Pity it's speed was never tested in race condition, nor would it reach the race track in all-black!
