64
A single seater Indianapolis racing car. A conventional engined racing car with the Ford Turbo quad cam engine (turbine engines had been banded by the USAC after the 1968 season), 4 wheel drive and an aluminium monoquoce chassis. Again the Type 64 was difficult to drive and Jochen Rindt and Graham Hill dislike the car, so Mario Andretti was drafted in to drive the car. However the car crashed heavily in a high speed crash at 190 mph and was destroyed, luckily Andretti survived. It was later discovered that under high speed, the rear wing had put to much load on the rear hub casting, breaking it. The car was with drawn from the competition.
