1947 Norman Timbs Special
Found in a junkyard in the dessert, rescued and restored to its original glory.
Tumblr media
Constructed in Los Angeles by the acclaimed Indy 500 engineer Norman Timbs, the Norman Timbs Special stands as a one-of-a-kind vehicle. Timbs invested around $10,000 in its creation, a considerable amount for the period.
Tumblr media
The vehicle’s dimensions are notably impressive. It boasts a height of just 47 inches, a wheelbase of 117 inches, and a length of approximately 17 feet, while its weight is about 2,200 pounds. The car features a sleek aluminum exterior over a tube frame chassis.
Tumblr media
At its core, the Timbs Special is powered by a mid-engine Buick straight-eight engine, equipped with dual carburetors, and it rides on a customized 1947 Ford suspension system, ensuring a smooth driving experience. The car is capable of achieving speeds up to 120mph.
Tumblr media
Designed for both distinctiveness and practicality, the vehicle’s tail section elegantly opens up behind the cockpit to display the gas tank, spare tire, engine, and other mechanical parts, showcasing its unique blend of style and engineering.

I just hope that Marcus Ericsson winning the Indy 500 last year & Antonio Giovinazzi winning Le Mans this year makes 'those' motorsport fans realise that just because a driver doesn't have success in F1, it doesn't make them a crap driver. F1 isn't the be all and end all of motorsport and people need to accept that.

All pics from various sources on Twitter. I saved way too many pics to know where they all came from. My best advice is to go follow everyone you can find!
See reblogs for more pics in the thread.

After a 10 year absence, Katherine Legge out qualified all of her full-time teammates who were driving the same machinery. Instead of focussing on the fact her team technically could pull her out and put a full time driver in there (they won't). Let's focus on how incredible this is.
Tumblr media
And she did all this in one attempt while all of her teammates tried several attempts.
