Clark, Stewart, Moss and many others didn't have careers solely around open wheelers - Moss for example did a lot of Targas and I'd regard his win the 1955 Mille Migilia as the single best drive by any driver ... who beat a guy called Jaun Manuel Fangio by 32 minutes. Oh geez, I forgot Tazio Nuvolari. Success on bikes AND cars CAT INTERCEPTOR fucked around with this message at 03:54 on Jun 16, 2016 |

It was allowed to race until the end of the season, it was however withdrawn from racing by the team after it's sole win. The win was ratified by the FIA - over 50% of the fan's use was for cooling. quote:And that, I think, is the definition of the best cheat And as said, it was declared legal at the time but later banned. If it was cheating, it would never have raced or won races, given how blatant it was - and I add the actual primary concern / howling by other teams wasnt the ground effects but the stones and poo poo being kicked up. And a lot of clever reading of the rules happens all the time, is declared legal but later banned, no one is charged with cheating. We are talking about the FIA who just fined Hyundai 50 grand for windows that had to be trimmed a few mms to fit.

I just went with that one cause it's a great story, Yunick himself is the standout for greatest cheat/rules bender. Though the celica restrictor is definitely tops for devious and flat out rule-breaking modifications.
