The Allard was an absolutely phenomeonal car, and its curse was working all to well. That body created incredible downforce, at the price of severe drag - verboten on the Mulsanne and at Daytona.

The Allard, oddly enough, is not the only attractive and promising prototype in recent history to suffer this problem. The awesome Crawford SS2CK LMP1 chassis had the exact same issue, and even after modest success in the hands of both Lista/Doran and Dyson Racing, it was shelved permanently.
