Graham McRae – Other | The “forgotten” drivers of F1

1977 -Graham McRae whe he also raced Can-Am: Gerry LaRue’s magic, ‘right in the cockpit’ shot of GM at Riverside in 1977 below makes McRae’s design intent crystal clear! GM2 Chev Can Am- look closely at this shot and others of the car in F5000 format and you see just how minimalist the sportscar bodywork of the design is. t the end of the North American season the Kiwi then converted the chassis back to F5000 specification and shipped it from California to Australia to contest the 1978 Rothmans International Series.
