Austrian GP Zeltweg 1968
Powerslide
If you knew the old Zeltweg circuit, you would reckon a 47 to be completely useless there.
It was an airfield made from concrete blocks and infamous for its effects on
chassis and suspension. It could extinquish complete starting fields to the
bunch of the contending off-roaders. The layout also makes clear that you need
horsepower and brakes, something the 47 lacked to a major extent. The fastest
Carrera 6 with Dr Helmut Marko was 6 sec faster that Mr Mundschitz and his 1`16"
A. Deutsch and Trevor Taylor did not show up. Results indicate an early
retirement of No 71 with suspension breakdown. But, as you can guess, it was
then time for the rear frame to crack where they all cracked, on arround lap 30 of
157 scheduled.

Car had FVA engine and ran in prototype class. I copied this photo from an article in Motorsport about ugly colour schemes, the author Dough Nye describing 47GT/71 as the most disgusting of them all.
