Second, that work was partly based on the official Howston model (et al) so let me also thank Tim Wheatley & ISI/Studio 397 for permission to use those bits as well. This car is built on an rFactor2 mod by CrossPly (available here RD) so first of all let me thank John for allowing me to use his work. It is Surtees' 1966 5.9L Can Am car that we have tried to re-create - physics, project - skins, - rFactor2 model - conversion - model import & improvement, shaders, - updated logo Among the Chevrolet-powered teams was that of John Surtees, which became the de facto works outfit. The chassis was designed to accept either a Ford or Chevrolet small-block V8 and cars competed with both, although the Chevrolet engines were more popular and, overall, more successful. It won 5 of 6 rounds of the 1966 Can Am series in North America and also won the US Road Racing Championship in '66 and '67. It won its debut race, the final round of the 1965 British Road Racing Championship, and then swept all 7 races the following year. Lighter and faster, it dominated all competition on both sides of the Atlantic, proving to be unbeatable in nearly every event it entered. Though it was quick straight away, he immediately set to work on improving it and in 1966 the MkII was put into production.
It combined everything he had learned working for Ford with all of the ideas they wouldn't let him try. Fresh off the GT40 project in 1964, Lola's Eric Broadley designed his own sports racer, the T70, to race in 1965.
