@jenner: Hello Jens, after i read so much and after i looked at a bunch of pics of the car(s) and race reports i decided to reproduce that tape which might have had various reasons, mainly simply to protect the extrem low front of the car from all this little rubber rockets, stones and to give a bit of extra strength in situations of "infights"!? Especially Pedro Rodriguez' car.......You are right, it stays a bit mysterious but i found it to be important enough to give it a try. I don't insist on correctness.
You are absolutely right about talking about that, just have a look at these pictures. The teams had real indigenous methods in former times but that makes it so interesting even for modelers!
These long runs must have been a kind of high speed war.......
