Motor Paced Racing



I came across this photo above and was wondering what did this people do to a nice Porsche 935!! From the picture it looks like they added some kind of roof or spoiler for some sort of aerodynamic. I googled and found out it is called Motor Paced Racing or Cycling....

"Motor-paced racing and motor-paced cycling refer to bicycling behind a motorized pacer. The slipstream created by the pacer increases speed and endurance of the bicyclist. In motor-paced racing each competing bicyclist or "stayer" closely follows his motorcycle with its pacing driver. Motor-pacing has also been used by bicyclists for speed and endurance records and as a training exercise. Motor-pacing is dangerous and, based on location, may be illegal on the open road."


Here is a model depicting Motor Paced Racing or Cycling
