Favorite F1 Car

[afx]

What is your favorite F1 car of all time. Mine is the Tyrrell P34. Not necessarily the most beautiful but I think it was very innovative.

Lotus 49 in all it's variants.

Ferrari 312. Not very successful, but sure was pretty. And the sound...mamma mia!!

Based on looks?:

Ferrari Sharknose -



Honorable mention goes to Jordan F191 which I think is the best looking car of the modern "covered in sponsor decals" era:




My favorite based on performance and my level of fandom at the time - Williams FW14B, but i never though it was that good looking.

All good choices! I've built the Jordan and the Williams, and have the Lotus lined up on the bench for "soon".

And I like this one, too:

Matra MS11 because of the glorious sound.

Gordon Murray's masterpiece (for the time) the BT-44;

And the previously mentioned Matra:

For beauty my faves were the JPS Lotus cars and the Benetton Ford 87-91

Also I respect the DF series Cosworth/Fords as they ran the same basic configuration from 1967

to 1991 I believe. Though outclassed by the V-10s they were still competitive in the right hands.

Sentimental favorite. F1 in my mind is always this car.

I'll go for the Brabham BT52.Clean,simple,effective shape.It was that way because of a late rules package change that left little time for creativity.The rear wing wasn't even adjustable!

312T, 156, 158, Lotus 49,

[Mark72JPS]

Lotus 72, 78 and 79.

[Scuderia]

I'm not that old in the relative scheme of things, but I was always partial to the Benetton B195.

I would have to say the Tyrrell as well (that sounds pretty funny )

[Modelmartin]

I would add myself to the list of Ferrari 156 Shark Nose aficianados. I love the Tyrell six wheelers too. If you had asked for favorite GP cars I would, of course had to go with my Bugattis: Brescia, T35, T59.

I also liked the Benneton B188 mainly for the color scheme/graphics. Thierry Boutsen in Detroit(!) 1988

The F2003ga.Beautiful car, one of my all time favorites and there's nothing like the sound of a V10 screaming at 22,000 rpm.

Totally agree, along with my favorite Loti, JPS and Jim Clark's.
