70’s Race Car Design
This video provides a very interesting look at the design of racing cars in 70s. An incredible era when sponsorship was minimal but expressive and no part of the car was left looking redundant.
From the Gestalten.tv website:
“Mechanics and team members – not designers or marketing strategists – adorned racecars with all of those flashy stripes, logos, numbers and colors prevalent at any Formula 1 race today. After compiling more than 100 examples of sleek cars from this glory age, Go Faster-author Sven Völker takes us for a joy ride at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart for a whip-fast lesson in competitive war paint, visual anarchy and piggish car designs.”
