1974 Sting GW1<\/h1>\n
\n

In 1974 this Sting GW1 was build as a one-of privateer car for John Collins for racer Gary Wilson.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sponsored by Kendall GT-1, the String competed in the 1974 Can-Am season against the Shadow DN4, McLaren M20, Porsche 917\/30 with limited success.<\/p>\n

It borrowed many elements of its contemporaries such as the aerodynamics of the Porsche 917 and tub structure of the McLaren.<\/p>\n

In its second race, Gary Wilson piloted the Sting to it best placing fifth overall at the Can-Am races at Road America.<\/p>\n
