turbocar การใช้

• Scuderia Ferrari debuted their first turbocar, the Ferrari 126C but Gilles Villeneuve started the race in his regular Ferrari 312T5.
• In the 1967 Indianapolis 500, Parnelli Jones'STP-Paxton Turbocar was expected to easily defeat the field of piston engines.
• For open wheel racing, 1967's revolutionary STP-Paxton Turbocar fielded by racing and entrepreneurial legend Andy Granatelli and driven by Parnelli Jones nearly won the Indianapolis 500; the Pratt & Whitney STN 6 / 76 gas turbine.
• Turbine-engined cars have also raced in other types of motorsports, including both open-wheel racing ( Lotus 56 and STP-Paxton Turbocar ) as well as sports car racing ( Howmet TX and Rover-BRM ).
• Unlike the year before, when the STP-Paxton Turbocar easily outperformed the other cars in the race, in the race the turbine cars were relatively evenly matched with the other top contenders, much of which must be attributed to aerodynamics and chassis design and not to the turbine engine.
