dsl ◊ 2019-09-22 17:31	1973 Can-Am, due to the combination of cars (including other pages in this film) probably mid-season, and one of the smaller tracks without much big buildings - Mid-Ohio on 12 Aug may be best fit. Not totally clear which car this is - it's the most difficult to fit of these race captures - but looks like an older Mclaren with rounded instead of vertical lower sides, so McLaren M8R [#70-10], Burmester Racing, driven by Tom Dutton might work. The linked photo has longer stripes on the front wing (on the other side) compared to short section here, but maybe there was minor damage so raced here without full reinstatement??
