the bumper car nuns are the only thing even close to a group of nuns enjoying cars that I've posted. https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2011/08/variety-of-unsual-vehicles-from-hippo.html yes, there is that one nun on a go cart... but I specified "enjoying cars"
This could refer to a tv show and book written by Jonathan Routh, "The Nuns Go Car Racing" tv show in 1972, https://www.imdb.com/title/tt12241186/ book in 1973, but that was in the brass era
The seven cheerful nuns are always busy helping people, but once each year they set off for an exotic vacation land. This is the third of Jonathan Routh's ingeniously funny tales about the Nuns on a mad holiday jaunt.
The nuns decided to take part in a car race from Paris to Rome.
On their way through France they pass several scenes reminiscent of French paintings. In particular they are struck by an unusual picnic: "the nuns decide that the most interesting thing about the picnic is that the picnicking lady is not wearing any clothes,"
They also have trouble with some Mongolian Strongmen who are also taking part in the race.
and the Nuns books were a series of 3,
The Nuns Go To Africa.
The Nuns Go East.
The Nuns Go West.
The Nuns Go Car Racing.
I'll guess this focus on nuns was after the success of the 1967 tv show Flying Nun with Sally Field, based on the 1965 book The 15th Pelican
