Note the original design reversed hood scoop, designed by Peter Brock.

98SVT - was 06GT

Pete Brock has replicated the hood he wanted for the OVC R Models. This one also has the front apron he wanted. 002 is easy to spot. It has the large rear wheel openings that SCCA nixed. The production R Models got smaller flaring.

Yes. They even had a guy that flew 100+ mph drones next to the car on the front straight. They were very loud and the battery was only good for about 3 minutes.
