Photo Gallery «Technology in race cars (18): STP-Paxton Turbocar - whoosh and away!»

The gas turbine racing car from 1967 could have been the future of the Indy Car Series had it not been thwarted by the regulations. This article from the series "Technology in racing cars from 1958 to 1978" looks at the STP-Paxton Turbocar in detail and shows it in historical footage.
