What is this...

Friend just sent me this..what is it?
Snowmobile engine I guess...but what is the application ?

 

Looks like a racing sidecar with a Tyrrell P34 front end setup.

 

Thank you 418, I didn't realize the sidecars were built like that. Is that a legal setup in that class?

 

Worm with a touch of Gordon Murray

 

G.Murray started with Tyrell?....

 

Oops, I'm so old I confused the 6 wheel with the fan car

 

Chaparral 2J IIRC.

 

It's definitely NOT a motorcycle... LOL

 

Since it most likely doesn't change direction very well perhaps a land speed record entrant ?

 

Life insurance companies worst nightmare?

 

The riders just need that"It's grreat day for motorracing!" Scottish tartan on the helmets.

...and then to complain of understeer.

 

Nope.
McLaren BT46B.
Same idea, quickly banned

 

Deathtrap

 

Meh...Chaparral was first

 

It looks like one of those painting machines for doing stripes on the centerline and in parking lots.

 

With that engine & pipes, doing stripes (or squiggles) on road sounds like a amusing job...
