cap-dude got the black flag pic right, it was indeed issued to Prost at Monza, 1986.

The other photo was from 1979 as some of you said (sort of ), but the driver is none of those suggested...

Carlos Reutermann, 1979, Martini Racing Team Lotus

Nope. The driver was testing it at the time, but it was before he started driving for them.

Make, year, special feature(s).

Special features? That it's the fugliest F1 car ever? I can't remember it's name though...

C'mon, you can do better! It's actually a quite special car with several special features.

I'm guessing it was one of the 6 wheelers, or more likely that it was a 4wd experiment. 4wd then?

Yup!

I'm just trying to think of the 'several other special features'.... first car to feature integrated wings? I think the car is early 70's, even as early as 1970...

It was made of balsa wood in a very angular shape and the cockpit was off-set to the left.

Nope, but I can tell you it was entered for one race, but never made it to the starting grid. Does this help?

You are a GOD.

Fittipaldi = Correct
56B = Correct
Engine = Correct, though I wasn't sure if it was 4wd.

What was the year?
