I believe that is what the race was called, was on TV the other day and I watched a bit of it. Mostly profiled a hand full of cars thier drivers, teams and problems. Anyway I am almost certain I saw the race Alpine with the chopped off rear fenders in the race a time or two. did anyone else happen to catch this show and notice the car?

That was the show gt racer, that was the one from 2 weeks ago. There was the one with the chopped off back, and a few glimpses of another. Last week they were on the nurburgring, and I missed the one last night but it should be waiting for me on the DVr. It comes on Fridays nights on hdtheater. It's gonna follow the guys thru 6 different races.

What show is this? What network? Are we talking about archival footage from the 60s or a recent vintage race or....?

On tonights episode they were racing the carrera de panamericana in Mexico. They showed a black sunbeam that ran off the road and was totally smashed.

Edit: There are some youtube videos of the race.

Darn it missed that one, need to set to record all. Saw an Imp on there the other day. I also like how in the opening credits the camera is in a car during a race and dead center is what looks to be a Smiths gauge maybe a tach... and the needle never moves.

im pretty sure that was a speedo in an e type. I wonder if the sunbeam that crashed was the one on ebay a while ago that went off a ravine? Was the right side of that tiger smashed and was it black?
