What your Favourite F1 car of all time and why (it doesn't have to be the fastest)?

[Chad Stewarthill]

Oops.

The mp4-20, the last of the V10 beasts. Love the colour scheme and the low wide nose. Unfortunately the last black Mclaren made.

There are some other cars which i also like, but they are already posted, except for the Lotus 97T

 

[teabagyokel]

I think the MP4-20 was quite wonderful, especially the Viking horns. If only it had a different engine...

 

[Chad Stewarthill]

Has anyone noticed how all the cars mentioned here have one thing in common?

None of them have high noses.

You've both linked to an image on a server which doesn't allow hotlinking.

Both posts just show a broken image placeholder.

Imagine gilly's pic with a bin lid over the fan.

Funnily enough, that's just what I did and that is just how remember it!

 

[landogeorgelewis1]

Now that Mclaren MP420 looks a sexy car. The horns and everything were great, shame the car was a bit of a dog as it's beautiful.

They've all gone down since the Lotus 25.

Formula 1 is supposed to be about car racing, not upside down aeroplanes.

I have just realised that I should have posted my promise since this thread is in the same spirit as the "Favourite Driver (not necessarily the best)" thread. You can find it here, if you are interested:

I feel the same spirit should apply here. to the OP.

Cor, all you young pups don't know nuffin, cars from 2 years ago? Here's some proper racing cars:

AJ in the Williams FW07

Ferrari 312B

Mad Manfred Winklehock in the ATS D6

I have to admit the 312B is my personal favourite.

 

[Legs]

The 'original and best' high nose, the Tyrrell 019.

A bit before my time, but a lovely looking car, the Ferrari 312T4...

 

[Jos the Boss]

The rims give it away for me

Even though I never saw it in action i love the look!

 

[no-FIAt-please]

Agree that the BGP 001 was a great looking car and I don't think the wheel covers were any worse than the others, they all looked pretty ugly.

 

[Andyoak]

It has to be this...

Or this...

Both looked great on my Scalextric but unlike reality the Brabham always won in my hands...

 

[Andyoak]

and for the best paint job ever (and a good shape apart from the wedges at the back of the side pods)...

and also great on my Scalextric...

 

[Speshal]

Has no-one mentioned the Tyrell P34?

Utter madness

 

[Chad Stewarthill]

Ah, if you're talking Tyrrell, it has to be this one, handily combining my joint favourite driver with one of my favourite cars:

Love those wing mirrors!

 

[Andyoak]

Gotta say Blue and White does work... (I know this shouldn't be a livery thing) but Ligier did do some good looking cars.

I do wonder if our favourite cars correspond with the first years we started watching F1... I can definately see my prefered style of F1 car matches up to when I started watching in earnest back in the early 80's.
