Mt. Lynx should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
The only pic I've found of the Mega Monte Carlo GT1 -98' is so poor quality that I won't post it.
The car never raced though, since GT1 was killed off for the -99' season.

Any takers on pictures?

Remember the Sintura S99? One ALMS start: Laguna Seca 1999. Never seen again. Too bad too because that was really the end of the era of the super GT1 cars at that point.

Thanks for that - had a little look on youtube at the Laguna Seca race broadcast.

It was entered as a prototype and it seemed to do pretty well for such an under-developed car - it qualified ahead of other prototypes.

It really was super. Judd V10 in the back - madness.

IIRC the Sintura raced in british GT a few times.

Edit: after a quick check at racingspirtscars.com, I can confirm this. British GT in -99' had som leftover GT1 cars, like Porsche 911 GT1, McLaren GTR longtail but also a Quaife R4.

Yup, and very competitive at that... holding itself quite well against 911 GT1s, McLarens and all the other oddballs.

Lest anyone forget, the Pagoni Zonda:

and the Panoz Abruzzi!

Two oddballs to say the least! At least the Pagoni Zonda looked decent and at least the Panoz Abruzzi finished at least one race!

The less said about the Panoz the better.

But oh, that Pagani was a brilliant car to watch - it really stood out. Sitting in those tribunes at Le Mans and seeing it spit flames out of those wicked exhausts around the Dunlop curve under breaking - magnificent.

Of course, it had the entire GT2 field on its tail trying to overtake it.

Panoz GTR one of my favorite race cars ever. I cried with sadness when the open topped car was announced to replace it. I always wondered why did they have to take the dang roof off!

Made it into the old "Sportscar GT" computer game, though... actually a pretty good car in the game, but then, the Panoz was the absolute world-beater in that one, whereas the Mercedes was usually less than competitive.

Someone mentioned the Panoz Esperante (GTLM) above... this is the thing. Not really oddball to me, it sounded great, and was actually competitive in the ALMS and at Le Mans I believe. Lasted a long time in the ALMS too (six? seven? seasons).


Panoz Esperante GTLM - Dominik Farnbacher by Richard Wintle, on Flickr

And then someone else mentioned the Abruzzi... gaaaaah my eyes!!!! And boy was it ever (a) slow, and (b) unreliable. Only made a few ALMS starts, so I can consider myself honoured to be among those who actually saw it race.

The thing looked like a vacuum cleaner from the front. Argh.

Always loved that car since the first time I saw it as a Hot Wheels toy. You could drive it in Project Gotham Racing 3, but I wish I could get my hands on it in Forza 4 or Gran Turismo 6 (or the real world ).
