Trick question. Identical times?
How can you answer these quesions? I say the F1 car was faster with a lap of 59.905seconds?
Going to guess F1 at The Glen, Can-Am at Mosport.
Part A: What could lap Watkins Glen faster, Bruce McLaren in his 1969 Formula One Car, or Bruce McLaren in his 1969 Can-Am car?
Part B: Same question except for Mosport Circuit?

So the F1 cars were generally quicker at the slower, twistier Mosport circuit.
Since when has Mosport been a slow twisty circuit?
You're right......After looking at a 1968 "bootless" Glen I'd have to agree.
However.......having been a regular at Mosport for over 20 years......it's FAR from a slow and twisty circuit.
Just slower and twistier than the Glen.
Actually, I wonder where these 2 road circuits stand as far as lap record average speed worldwide???
Now I'm curious.........

In the late '60's? I'd say both Monza and Silverstone were probably quicker, but that era's Mosport and the 'Glen were probably up there with the fastest. Hockenheim prior to '68 must have been pretty quick too.

Some of us are heavily into our touring cars. It's dependent whether you're into the discipline or not.
Name all cars entered in the BTCC during the super touring years that did not win a race outright.
This includes independents and Class B.
Peugeot 406 is one of the cars, yes. Arguably the greatest car to not win a race.

But that of course, is not the only one.
Vauxhall Vectra?
Volvo 850 Estate?
