I found these photos of a JTCC Capella. It seems to be getting hard to
find photos of the old race cars. I my cob webs I remember seeing photos
of Savanna coupes with their hoods held open just a crack and a plexi
shield just in front of the rear edge of the hood. Explanation at the
time was to let hot air out to help cool the rotaries. This before
ground effects and other aerodynamics figured out. Air dams and rear
spoilers common. Raced against 2.0L Skyline GT R and I believe 1.7L
turbo Toyotas.
The red Savanna looks like the one I remember. Early photo from memory
had a white air dam.

The Capella was called the RX2 in some markets. The last picture is my 1973
RX2. The Savanna was the RX3 I think.
