torana should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
In the early 1980's i was out at Amaroo pArk just outside sydney on the fridaybefore the historic races. Ther in rthe paddock was 2 GT40's one was candy apple red the other in Gulf racing colours. I understand that the car was built for le mans as a back up car but never actually raced. i have some before and after photos of the car. In the paddock before it went out on the track and after phoros of the car after it smacked into the rock wall going up Bitupave hill. boy was it a mess. the car was scattered allover the track Subsantially in tact but but the damage was to back, front and along one side. The back of the caqr was the worst with the engine and raer suspension splattered all over the track. I believe the car was being driven by Laurie O'Neil he was ok but the car?

IfI can work out how to put photos on these modern contraptions i will post them
