I was just reading it in my issue when you posted this. :wink:

looks to be a nice series.

Yeah, I hope to see the Stratos and Miura in it... and many more dang ;) I hope it will last at least 20 issues :D

I also think the Sratos will be in it (either that or the Delta Integrale), and The F40 too.

Thanks for the Scans TT!
Hope there will be F40, Stratos, Miura and Delta Integrale.
And also some Ferrari Sport Prototipi like 330 P4, 312 Pb and so on.
Ops...also the Porsche 911 GT1 and 935/78 and 917...
:D

Once again a terrific article from EVO. I can't wait to receive EVO directly at home. It would be nice if they stick to classic cars for this series, although I wouldn't mind the appearance of the F40 and Delta Integrale. Stratos and Miura are a very good idea. What about the Ferrari 250 GTO, Mercedes Benz 300 SLR, Ford GT40, Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato, Maserati 250F or the Alfa Romeo P3?

BTW, I wonder now it there will be only race legends or not...

All it says it's about cars that attained hero status. That leaves some room for different interpretations. It could be about a specific car, like this, the first Mini to win the Monte Carlo. It could also be about a type of car, of which they take one to represent that type.
Racing cars attain a hero status more quickly than road cars I think. But it's not unlikely that there are road cars with hero status. In its day, the Golf GTi mk1 gave some serious sports cars a run for their money if it was well driven on a twisty road. That's hero status as well IMO.

Yeh, you're completely right. I'm pretty sure there will be race and road cars :) And I hope it will last at least some months :) there are some many cars to cover :D

Yeah, I can't wait what they'll come up with next. I love reading these stories of racing from the past. That's why I put down the P3. That story about Nuvolari at the Ring is a classic. Or the one of Birkin at Tunesia. They could make that a new series as well.

its really an amazing achievement for a mini to win a rally
wat cars was it pitted against?

It isn't that amazing really. The Monte Carlo is usually driven on snow. So a heavy car with lots of power is not much of an advantage.

Ford Falcon and Saab 96. It says so in the article.
