Eagle-Weslake T1G Grand Prix de Belgique 1967. . Gurney's Eagle takes flight at Spa 1967! Dan Gurney takes a first win for his own Anglo-American Racers team in the light weight Eagle T1G Weslake Grand Prix car, breaking Tony Brooks Grand Prix speed average record with a speed of 143mph. For the 1967 season, Dan built this special Eagle, named the mag-ti car for the magnesium and titanium in its structure. The use of exotic materials overcame the Eagleβs weight disadvantage, which stemmed from sharing a common design with the Indy version. It all came together that day at Spa-Francorchamps, when Dan out ran the worldβs fastest Grand Prix cars to seize victory for himself, the Eagle and the United States. . . . #dangurney #gurney #gurneyf1 #eagleweslake #eaglef1 #retrof1 #classiccars #prints #limitedprints #poster #F1cars #agloamerican https://www.instagram.com/p/CVkpFhAsPWE/?utm_medium=tumblr
