A good looking car for the times. The days when somebody with a dream could build a car, get a top shelf F1 engine and get in the record books. Thanks, Dare.

I think that you meant 'Kojima', rather than 'Kajima' Dare ;).

I had heard of Kojima before now.  The article is an interesting read, but is factually inaccurate with regards to the 1977 race.  There were two Kojima's entered for that event.  One was the 'works' Kojima, while the other was run by Heros racing.  In addition, the 'work's car was driven by Noritake Takahara that year.  Takahashi was driving a Tyrrell.
