Guess The Blurred Racecar!

[Tedehur]

No and no.
But close and close.

 

[Metar]

It wouldn't happen to be a Bowler Wildcat?
Or an earlier-model Schlesser Buggy?

 

[Milliethemutt]

Dacia Duster?

 

[Tedehur]

No, niet and nein.
First 2 guesses were closer.

 

[Joey D]

Land Rover Series I or II desert racer?

 

[Tedehur]

No.
Hint : the year mentioned was correct.

 

[Metar]

Would that be the Volkswagen Iltis then?
And with two guesses allowed, I'll hedge my bets with a Mercedes-Benz G280?

 

[Clark]

A Toyota Landcruiser of somesort?

 

[Tedehur]

Would that be the Volkswagen Iltis then?
And with two guesses allowed, I'll hedge my bets with a Mercedes-Benz G280?

Bingo.
The Volkswagen Iltis that won the Paris-Dakar in 1980 (source here)

[zed300]

I go with a Nitro Funny car

 

[Danny]

R89c?
R92cp?

 

[TheCracker]

I'd guess that it's a NASCAR of some kind. I'm not all that familiar with any contemporary liveries for them so i can't be any more specific.

 

[Metar]

Nah, I wouldn't put that sort of pain upon you guys.


Follow the guy with the octopus-droppings on his head.

 

[Ian Poole]

Time for a wild stab and I am gonna say the chevy silverado of Rob Hornaday Jr.

 

[SR-71_Blackbird]

Porsche GT1? also which of the 2 car do we guess?

 

[Metar]

There's only one in the picture...

And nope.

 

[Danny]

Lola B08/80?

 

[Metar]

Edging far closer than any other guess.

 

[Danny]

Is it the Charouz Lola-Aston?

 

[Metar]

Nay.

 

[Clark]

Is it the Repsol Liveried Porsche 956/962? I don't know the team name.

 

[Metar]

Nay. It's a modern car - think in the direction of ultrabeat's guess.

 

[Danny]

Zytek 07S?

 

[Clark]

How modern are we talking, last five years or so?

 

[Metar]

Yeah, that sort of modern.

Keep guessing, Danny.

 

[Ian Poole]

How about a Ginetta G35 I think it's called

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Is it the Zytek 04S?

 

[Clark]

It's not the Playstation Oreca R8 is it?
