Thanks... that routing is very common in drag and circle track racing but I have not noticed it in road racing. Some weight saving and heat-rerouting advantages. -
Use this on your rubber and it will look great and last a long time ?

The die-cast has the fuel vent... very cool

It seems to be a already a missile battle at the moment... I fear it will escalate with more missiles rather than stop.... hopefully some one can step in and cool things down.

away from heat easy access to carb tops

Not good.

It is interesting on the Le Mans car that the fuel was very rich to darken the rear tail panels... but it also looks like a large exhaust leak is also sooting-up the rocker/dogleg/lower driver door area. As the race progresses, the soot stain gets bigger... a soot 24hr "hour glass" ?

@HS30-H Alan, can you help explain the wheel weight material and adhesion? It certainly looks unique!
Thanks Alan! Great shot! Sean... some related great art in France... a gift from Hoover ? https://cars-art.fr/datsun-nissan-240z-s30-fairladyz/ And a biggie in Colour https://dattosankureiji.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/nissan-fairlady-z432r-at-suzuka-1970.jpg
Here are convenient links to the JAF site for further researching the two races above: June https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.jaf.or.jp+"1970%2F06%2F06" https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.jaf.or.jp+"1970%2F06%2F07" Jan: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.jaf.or.jp+"1970%2F01%2F17" https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-d&q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.jaf.or.jp+"1970%2F01%2F18" Here is where one can submit queries and corrections: https://secure.okbiz.okwave.jp/faq-jaf/helpdesk?site_domain=default&category_id=198
Errr what about the names and data that are correct? 2 sides to everything. Some correct data always beats no data in science, exploration, and research
For the archives:
Alan, are there details of this that are published. It sure would make a nice read! After seeing the roll bars and the vinyl roof cover on a test car that seems to be from 67/68, they certainly had a lot going on long before the factory started production!
They had the 432R and the spoiler at the Tokyo Motor Show...plus the banked racing display so the gauntlet was being thrown ? It is interesting they swapped out the Blue 240z for the 432R as the show progressed.
I think it is great to track all of these historical events! The test track work in 69 helped gather data leading to the racing in Jan. so it is part of the full picture.
Fuji was 6.0km circuit in 1970. Z production started rolling in Oct. 1969 It was on the Murayama track in Nov (also previewed to world in late Oct/early Nov). 1969 It's first race was Jan 17.1970 So ~3.5 months (max) from production to racing.... pretty darn good!
The first S30 to formally race was in Jan 1970. The car was most likely tested before the race but I have no details yet. Here are results of the June 6-7 1970 races from the JAF site: Heat 1 11:30AM 100Miles B 13:40 Qualifying and Score of 2 Heats: Final Another race from same weekend event:
@kats showed a 432 on the Murayama test track in Nov 1969 so that counts as lapping in my books.... next best thing to racing ? https://translate.google.ca/translate?hl=&sl=ja&tl=en&u=https%3A%2F%2Fmotor-fan.jp%2Ftech%2F10005253
