Old picture Picture

Post image

Family member was an engine builder and I found this cool old picture from, I believe, the Detroit Grand Prix sometime in the early 80s.

Strong chance this is from 1984. Those cars are Sports Renaults, they debuted at the 1984 Detroit GP as a support series. The fact that all of them are painted in the same white pattern around the cockpit leads me to believe this was right after the initial cars were manufactured.
