The Pegasus WSC was a
naturally aspirated BMW engine in place of the usual Lotus 900 series unit. The car was used in a handful of races before being replaced by a new car, derived from the Argo JM16
.
Racing history
In
Laguna Seca, but Kuttner's 44 laps were enough to secure the WSC class victory, and 12th overall. The class victory was due to the #43 Scandia Kudzu DG-2 (another WSC car) failed after 38 laps.[4] Kuttner then entered the next round of the series, which was the Portland Grand Prix; for the first time, he was able to finish the race, albeit in 12th overall and second in class.[5] This would prove to be the WSC's last race, as Pegasus Racing opted to build a new car, based on the Argo JM16, for the following season.[6]
