I cam eacross these two, which were the insparation for this thread.
1- 1977 Ferrari? Fiorano?
2- 1968 - Jochen Rindt - F2 Race...but at what track?
3- Ferrari 312-T - French GP. Note the rocket type front wing endplate.
4- Patrick Tambay - 1974 F2 - This is the furthest back from the chassis i can remember seeing a rear wing on any race car.
5- well maybe not...
well, anyone have any more interesting photo's, and maybe a description of the pictures I have posted. I'm very interested in knowing more about these. Especially the Ferrari in the first picture.
Oh, and does anyone remember anything about Tyrell testing a Lotus 72 type nose configuration during the 1973 Swedish GP practice sessions?

Quote from Autosport 24 May 1973
Quote from Autosport 21 June 1973:Elf Team Tyrrells's complement was three cars; as before 005 was but a spare and in fact unused during official practice, but it had been modified with water radiators in the side pods, oil cooler moved to the nose, and a wedge-shaped nose section. This was numbered 6T and Francois Cevert tried it the morning of the race for the first time.
I was there, but I can't remember if I ever saw it... and I haven't the photos I took then at hand...Tyrrells had put the faithful hack 005 back into its Zolder trim, that is the "Lotus 72 copy" configuration with its chisel nose and side-mounted water radiators, and both Cevert and Stewart tried it out. Jackie reported more downforce from the front aerofoils compared with the regular nose, which was an advantage around Anderstorp, but he only did seven laps and concentrated on preparing 006/2.

Later in the season Chris Amon raced 005 in this configuration at Mosport, finishing 10th. He was also due to race it at the Glen, but the team withdrew after Cevert's death.

And of course the Brabham BT 46 and the Chaparral 2J are among those, which come easily into mind.
And then wings...
