@X750: I started review. Comments will be below. Review within 2023 GAN Backlog Drives. Eurohunter (talk) 18:26, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
Lead
[edit]- "BOAC 500" is an actual name of race from 1967? Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- BOAC refers to the British Overseas Airway Corporation which the event ran under in its early years. See Brands Hatch 1000 km for more details.
- Added link to Chaparral 2E. Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- For this duration of article, the lead should be easy to extend. Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- I don't see how much more it can be expanded by. There is not much else to talk about. X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 12:05, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
Background
[edit]- What is the difference between Porsche 550 and Porsche 550 Spyder? I couldn't easily realise from Porsche 550 article. Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- A Spyder is an open-top automobile, which the 550 is. There is zero difference, just a name preference. X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 12:05, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- I changed it to "Porsche 550" because article is named "Porsche 550" (common name). Eurohunter (talk) 17:24, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- A Spyder is an open-top automobile, which the 550 is. There is zero difference, just a name preference. X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 12:05, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- I added a few links. Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Is this possible to link "active aerodynamics" to somewhere? Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- Not from what I can tell. X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 12:05, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- "having been narrowly been defeated by" - is this correct? Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- "General Motors to develop a mid-engined Corvette" - it was version of Chevrolet Corvette? Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- I would introduce year of book release Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed-In Dangers of the American Automobile. Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- "Cooper and Colotti manual transmissions" - which Cooper? Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- "remained much speculation" - who was speculating? Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Specifications
[edit]- "Weber 58IDM carburetors that allowed it to produce 392 kW (533 PS; 526 hp) at 6,000 rpm" - I think capitalised RPM looks better for an abbreviation. Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- When used as units, I do not capitalize them. Only when in prose referring to it, I use capital. For example,
A longer bore gave more torque at low RPMs
. X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 12:05, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- When used as units, I do not capitalize them. Only when in prose referring to it, I use capital. For example,
- "Hill to strike the upper barrier on the infield banking twice" - is "banking" correct? Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- "but eventually retired four hours into the race" - is "into" correct? Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- I don't see anything wrong with this. Do you? Is it not dissimilar to saying I finished my meal halfway into lunchtime? Unless that example, too, is wrong. X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 12:05, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- I think you are right and it's right. Eurohunter (talk) 17:22, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

Legacy
[edit]- "A wide array of rear airfoils appeared at the rear of several 1968 Formula One cars from" - add cars? Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
Other
[edit]- No template with category at Commons? Eurohunter (talk) 21:57, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
- I think there could be a template for Chaparral cars. Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- I can do that later. X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 12:05, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- I made some minor fixes. Eurohunter (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

- There is no introduction to predecessor Chaparral 2D and successor Chaparral 2G. Eurohunter (talk) 20:00, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
- I don't actually think the 2G is its successor. The 2G was a Can-Am car, this one not. I'll remove it. X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 12:05, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- What about to add previous and next World Sportscar Championship and other cars between? Eurohunter (talk) 17:20, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- I can do that. X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 20:26, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- @X750: Did you add it? Eurohunter (talk) 17:43, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, I did. FIA regulation change meant 7 litre prototypes were discontinued. You can see the small bit I also added about the 2G. X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 03:47, 16 August 2023 (UTC)

- Not all references has link to archived version. Eurohunter (talk) 17:31, 4 August 2023 (UTC)
- There is no consistency between link to race BOAC 500 in text and the table. Eurohunter (talk) 11:36, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
- Does there need to be? If you insist. Also, please, stop adding in piped links when redirects to the pages already exist. It is not necessary. X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 09:45, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- Also, how are you going to fit a four-character race name into three characters? X750. Spin a yarn? Articles I've screwed over? 09:46, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
- @X750: I mean where it directs. Eurohunter (talk) 10:58, 13 August 2023 (UTC)
