Just Curious. . .

Are these 'full size' cars? They look tiny! I'm comparing the images here to the images that I recall from TV.

GREAT shots!

Thanks

Thanks for the comments twowindsbear and jkm757, yes these are full size, and are the original cars from that period.

What speeds are these cars capable of reaching?

I know absolutely nothing of 'formual 3' racing or cars. . . but 500cc seems 'small' for a 'full size' car. Perhaps I should have qualified my statement as 'Indy cars as seen on TV.'

Thanks for your patience explaining about these cars.
