I don't think you know this one in USA.
It was a Cougar 40'(I think) aluminium, that Tom Gentry used in only one race,the first of three,in the Viareggio's World Championships in fall 1984.
Gentry abandoned the race very soon and because the weather in those days was very bad did'nt race the others two.
He preferred to made a visit in Ferrari Factory to buy a new supercar model.
I don't know what was the destiny of this interesting Cougar.
One of the two Cougar cat with central cockpit. The other was the first Toleman Group built in wood in 1979.
