Is this the Ultimate in Phatness?

Cars

We’re not sure exactly what the racer in this picture is, but man alive, does it not want to make you go racing?

There’s something about the exposed mechanicity of the diff and the tubes and the pipes and the roll bar, crossed with the fat slicks and the way the shadoes of the sun fall on the grass – that makes this our favourite race car perspective.

If anyone can ident this car for for us, we would be truly, madly, deeply thankful.
