Whichever it is, it's a beauty!

I checked the most recent update of the "Roadster Roster" at Mac Miller's website and I can't find any mention of this car, either as a restored original or a replica. I'm inclined to think it's a replica because I don't believe the paint scheme is accurate for the car as raced. My best recollection is that the original had a red and maroon paint scheme with little or no white trim. But Art's right. It is a beautiful car.

This may be a stupid question  but can someone tell me why all the roadsters I see have the tread worn away on the left sides of the tires? Were there made this way or did everyone use worn tires to have a better contact patch? Just curious. Stu |

I believe the wheels were cambered that way because in turns the tire will "roll" towards the outside (right). If they weren't the contact patch would be on the very outside of the tire towards the sidewall. Same with todays Dallara.

But I dont know why they did them that way,obviously it was faster but technically I have no idea. |
