1962 Nürburgring. The Le Mans style start was used for many years in almost all types of motor racing. As soon as the starting flag was dropped it required the drivers to run across the track to their cars which were parked on the opposite side, jump in, start the car, and drive away to begin the race. Eventually this practice was stopped as many drivers would jump in and go before fastening their safety equipment. #Revs #Video #Ferrari #Porsche #Lotus #AlfaRomeo #AustinHealey #Maserati #Elva #Fiat #Jaguar #MG #AC #Volvo #Morgan #LeMans #Starting #LeMansStart (at The Revs Institute for Automotive Research)

From The Henry Ford Museum, the two most famous Ford GT40s. In Gulf blue livery is chassis 1075, which won Le Mans in 1968 and 1969 and then the GT40 Mk IV that won in 1967 with Dan Gurney and A.J. Foyt. Photo - John Lamm #revs #henryfordmuseum #ford #GT40 #dangurney #ajfoyt #lemans #winners #fast #car #racecars #mkIV (at The Revs Institute for Automotive Research)

1912 HISPANO-SUIZA T-15 Alfonso XIII Four-cylinder in-line engine, 3620 cc (220.9 cubic inches), 64 hp at 2300 rpm. A genuine 75 mph car off the showroom floor, the Alfonso was capable of 90 mph in race tune – and many an Alfonso owner raced his.

O.K. Corvette fans. Hang on to your seats! I love when I stumble upon these long lost gems in our archives, the quality makes it hard to believe that it was filmed in 1958. #revs #Chevy #chevrolet #corvette #vette #racing #c1 #race #video #wow #cool #badass #fast #racecar #car #cars #instacars #Ferrari #ridinginaFerrari @chevrolet @ chevroletmotorsports @one_sick_corvette @corvette_fans @corvette_racing @chevroletperformance @corvettesofinstagram @chevy_motorsports @z06vette06 @corvettemuseum @ corvettefamily @corvettes_24_7 @ corvetteclub @corvette @corvette_fans @corvette_racing @corvettec7 @corvettefans @corvettemods (at The Revs Institute for Automotive Research)

Race track? Who needs a race track. Karl Ludvigsen captured this beautiful photo of a Chevrolet Corvette C1. Not sure on the year if the car, I am thinking 1956 or possibly 1957. Photo appears to be taken on Daytona Beach. #chevy #Chevrolet #corvette #vette #c1 #revs #InstaSize #tacing #beach #daytona #florida #classic #vintage #iconic #fast #car #cars #carsofinstagram (at The Revs Institute for Automotive Research)

1958 Porsche Carrera GT Speedster In the mid-fifties, Porsche claimed the Carrera to be the world’s first 1.5-liter 200-kph production car. Since this phenomenal performance attracted the usual celebrity types who had no desire for competition, the factory divided the series into De Luxe GS (which offered the sybaritic luxury of a heater) and Gran Turismo (the stripped and lightened GT for those who wanted a race car). GTs were further divided into a lightweight coupe and the even lighter Speedster. Axle ratios, compression ratios and such depended upon what one ordered.

1935 Duesenberg SSJ Only two examples of the “super-short” 125-inch SSJ chassis were produced. (Standard wheelbase lengths were 142 ½ and 153 ½ inches.) Gary Cooper bought the car you see here. Not to be upstaged, Clark Gable quickly decided he had to have a Duesie “just like Coop’s” and talked the local dealer into lending him the other one. #Revs #duesenberg #ssj #garycooper #clarkgable #rare #car #celebrity #moviestar #fast #cool #hollywood #1935 #instacars #InstaSize #cool (at The Revs Institute for Automotive Research)
