[Mgs] 1972 MGB GT V8 Race Car

[Max Heim]

Yeah, my only objection is that it isn't eligible for most most (hardly any,
really) race classes. Doubling the displacement and number of cylinders
doesn't usually pass tech. So It's basically for a once-a-year event and
occasional track day -- a toy, in other words. Pretty expensive toy.
