There are no flattering angles for this monstrosity.

The thing is, I actually always thought the Lotus 107 looked quite good! (Ok, so I might be alone there), but that's just my opinion! Certainly, the sight of Herbert scrapping with Schumacher in the 1993 Brazillian GP in that car was a sight to behold!

I think the problem with the 107 was that is was very different from the rest. Not sure if the shorter airbox was an advantage with aero? Think it was a shame we never really saw the 109's full potential.

Small detail but that is the 107b, the 107 from a year earlier had a slightly less offensive paint scheme, although by no means does not deserve a place in this thread.

1969 cosworth

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Mercedes W03, it has a steppy nose - sort of - it's silver (ish). Low to no downforce, c'mon Nico and Schuey - Monza and Spa will be a breeze in this! What a beauty......

Was the fuel hung on those pontoons ons the side?

Was the fuel hung on those pontoons ons the side?

God, I hope not - didn't the Lancia D50 have fuel tanks hung on the side as well? I assume no-one took account of the (high) probability of being T-boned?

 

[FB]

I reckon those are the fuel tanks. Look in this shot, there's no space for a fuel tank between the driver and the engine and there are holes in the tops which look like fuel fillers.

 

[teabagyokel]

To me, that looks like a recipe for death.

 

[Road of Bones]

Wasn't it 4WD too? To think, Cosworth hoped to persuade Jimmy Clark away from Lotus with this hideous thing...

 

[Josh]

That Cosworth looks like it could cut another car in half and blow up for some extra spectacle while you're at it.

 

[tooncheese]

Don't know what that is...

Arrows A1/FA1

 

[KekeTheKing]

For some reason I downloaded a picture package of nothing but ATS cars. Thought this one might fit here.

PS - This is JP Jarier at Argentina 78

 

[gethinceri]

Fair play, that looks totally shit.
Although the nose looks familiar.......

1998 Williams

1999 Williams

awful livery, awful race performances as well

Caution: mute the above video before watching.

 

[Muddytalker]

A little late to the party as ever.

Colour scheme, aesthetic design, performance (soggy Monaco notwithstanding), legality; it's got none of these. The 1984 Tyrrell 012

The cars from 2008 were AWFUL!

 

[KekeTheKing]

That one-off RBR livery is particularly bad. Only made it through one corner in Brazil as I recall.
