Dear Paul:

Here is a link to a photograph of the rear end of a Ford racing car used
in the CanAm.  It has a high wing.  I would
appreciate your comments about the design.

"MkIV chassis rebodied as CanAm (Grp 7) car and fitted with three-valve,
fuel-inject
Caliopee engine and C6/9" transaxle."

I vaguely remember that car.
Probably uncompetitive in group seven as the MK IV chassis was designed
for group 6 European racing. Probably too heavy. I have no idea what they were
thinking when they designed that wing structure :)
