What exactly is/was Nicholson-McLaren? They made the engine for Binnie's Lola and for Formula Master, both less than reliable... they were Cosworth CART V8-derived I think... They were also involved in the Cadillac LMP turbo V8 at first I think. Any links we could draw?

http://www.nicholsonmclaren.com/history.htm I think Nicholson was a company that helped McLaren with their engines in F1 way back in the 70's when they ran DFVs. Not sure what happened since... |

But at the end it seems that Cosworth developed the engine for McLaren. |

Gorgeous! I envy the guy's 3D modeling skills; I wish I were just able to get to a final result like that!

Saw this a couple of days ago on Speedhunters. I think it looks awesome especially the Gulf version. If only it became reality.....

Some of those liveries I really think look better on a longtail car, but that's just me.
