a tiny bulbous 1960s Fiat-Abarth racing car charges out of a corner with its inside front wheel off the track

There's something about the front grill of the Fiat-Abarth 1000 TCR that twigs my pareidolia something magic. To me, it looks like it's going "oooo I can doo this!"

Caption: The 1000 TCR shared by Godemans and Hezemans charges through the esses on its way to victory in the 1968 European Touring Car 500 kms race at Snetterton.

the X's over the headlights give it a cartoony "dead" look.

@dreyfusslugado I always wondered why they did that. The story I heard was to keep the glass in place in case the lens broke from flying rocks, but that doesn't sound to me like it would work.

@ardgedee could be that. Could also have protected the bulb a little if the glass got broken. It also makes it very clear that the car isn't road legal
