Perkins crashed in practice at the 'ring. Neither he nor Amon (who was unwell) made the grid. Their times were 30th (7' 46.2) and 31st (8' 26.2) respectively of 32 against Lauda's pole in the Ferrari of 7' 00.8. The only slower car was Howden Ganley's Maki which never set a time as it suddenly turned sharp right into the barrier at 160mph on what should have been it's first flying lap. Howden woke up in hospital.
No, I don't think there was ever a front radiator. The difference at the front was in the wing. The car was designed to carry a full-width shallow-strutted wing mounted on the nose (as in Felix' 'photo from the 'ring). The only time the car actually raced was at Jarama, with the conventional set-up you can also see thanks to Felix.
So Felix, which front wing did Chris use to qualify at Monaco ?
