Can-Am cars continued....
Thanks to a big push by driver Chris Amon even Ferrari went Can-Am racing. Winless throughout their efforts the Ferrari was seriously under powered compared to the competition

It's sports car racing and the rules say the cars must have...
... a second seat, spare tire, and "x" square feet of truck space. You'll note that the Ford GT40 cars (although not Can AM) actually have a metal box in the rear of the car to meet the trunk space requirement.

I would recommend a movie you can view on you tube called "The Speed Odyssey" which covers the series with actual footage of races and is fantastic. Also one I think is Called "Thunder Alley" if memory serves. Be careful you may get hooked!
