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.
