Yes, that's right,
Rotus 7. Inboard shocks, nose cone with a little 'spoiler'. Rotus '84, Striker '86ish? Coincidence?
The Rotus was even profetic for the RAW Striker, using a Toyota engine.

Nope, not a bit of it!
This was in America long before the internet of things, and wouldn't even have been seen over here, never mind copied!
I am insulted to think people think JP was anything but an original genius!

I'm sure the ideas on the JP cars come from Racing Cars of the 1960s and not an obscure US 7 clone.
