My list doesn't need pics, you should all know what they look like.

Arrows A2 doodlebug (warnsteiner)

i've just realised that i've not picked a single Mclaren F1 car but until the late 90s they nevrer semed to flow as a design and by then we'd started the trend for more add ons vanes etc than the average citroen saxo which are also the reasons why iv'e not picked anyone elses f1 car since the early 80s also no tyrrels which surprised me as i used to support then as a kid in early 70s but looking at it the one i remember the most is the 007 which was just a tidied up lotus 72.

F1 Cars

Clarks Lotus 49 - without sponsership

The Tyrrell Fords of Stewart/Cevert

Hunts 1976 Mclaren

Andretti in the Lotus 79

Sportscars

Rothmans Porsche 956 early 80's

"Om nom nom nom" 1998 or 1999 BTCC Volvo S40

Audi R8 (lemans)
noble M12
Quattro S1.

they all looked so good back in TIR.

Ever since a younger kid whenever I think "racecar" I see this in my mind's eye. At the exact same angle too - probably because I was shorter at the time.

Jaguar XJR9


Aston Martin DBRS9


Ferrari F40

Any of the F1 cars from circa 1965.

This was the Golden Age of F1 racing for me. Gritty, all-mechanical and very dangerous.

I still watch the movie 'Grand Prix' (1966) every now and then just to see the cars and the racing footage, although they actually used F3 cars dressed up to look like F1 cars for the movie. The footage used in the longer shots were extracts from real F1 races though.



Apparently, director John Frankenheimer refused to film the cars moving slowly, then speed the film up, so all the footage in this film is the real deal.

A genuine museum piece of the era.

For those who haven't seen it, here's a clip from the movie:

and there's some trivia about the movie here, if you're interested:

I must say the in the render the Gulf livery looks better than real life...

Just yesterday watched World Sportscar Championship review from 1988 and I think these Jags looked somehow amusing from the side, like some kind of flea. Mostly because of the covered rear tyres.

Sauber Mercedes C9 is best looking Group C proto.

All 90´s touring cars :auto:

Peugeot 406
BMW E-36
Audi A4
Ford Mondeo
Renault Laguna

etc, etc

and road car... the best car ever made

You Sir, have some mighty fine taste!

Quote from deggis :

What render? The quoted pics is just a studio shot. It's a real car. And yours is too.

Never thought about studio shot, because it looks too clinical imho. I don't know.

Still the picture is so much darker and that colour looks better. Obviously they sticked with the authentic historic colour, but "modernized" version could have been cool too.

Quote from deggis :

Porsche 917/30 (Can-Am)

Because it's so outrageously badass. Numbers speaks for itself: twin-turbocharged 5.4L flat 12 @ 1100 bhp (reportedly 1560 in qualifying trim) and very advanced aerodynamics for that time thanks to "no limits, anything goes" rules of Can-Am. Puts the original 917 into shame.




Porsche 996 GT1 EVO 98

I guess nothing special otherwise about this car but the looks makes it extraordinary. Not many race cars have so smooth curves than this one and this EVO 98 wasn't based on production model (unlike the previous 1996-1997 version). It managed to win Le Mans in 1998 when other cars failed to finish. Also well known for doing the famous backward flip in Road Atlanta in 1998.




Ford RS200

Not the most successful car from the Group B era, maybe if Group B wouldn't have been banned, this would have become a winner. It's my first memory of race/rally car. I was little bit too young to witness Group B but after the end of Group B this model was used in the European Rallycross Championship in late 80's and that I remember watching on tv.

Oh and I <3 the 787B.

Audi S1 Sport Quattro. By far.
