You really have to brainstorm this in just a few moments, otherwise your choices change.....

(Notice one thing about mine........? )


I'm with you on this

2 things : the Mclaren is the one with the long tail in Gulf colour scheme
the Jag would obviously be the XJR14

Sean Crockett should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
In no particular order

Audi R8C
BMW V12 LMR
Nissan 390 GT1
Porsche GT1 98
Cadillac LMP02

This is likely to change every few minutes!

Actually, okay, if we are going to talk about old cars(I guess my dad would like me to choose my favorites of those too...)

Aston Martin DBR1
Ferrari GTO
BMW 507(did this race?)
Merc Gullwing
Shelby Cobra 427(although I like the 289 overall better, the slight astetic differnces int he 427 look more apealing to me).

OK. How about this variation on the theme (as people are clearly desperate to go back further ).

Pick just one car from each decade, say 50's to present day (earlier if you wish). I'll have to go away and have a think first.....

It would seem that the GT1's are a little favored here. Probably because of the road version rules.
1. Porsche GT1 '98
2. Audi R8 2000 w/ black stripe
3. '02 PLM Vette
4. Holland Dome in all black
5. Toyota Eagle

The one pictured at the top of this page does it for me ! although I'm not so sure about this years model. The flying Mercedes were also beautiful until they hit the trees and the McLaren, while not as pretty as the road car also warms the cockles........

My favourite is the Audi R8... no no no ! Just kidding !

My favourite GTs are :
- the Panoz Esperante/Hybrid
- the Ferrari Daytona
- The Corvette Stingray

In the prototypes :
- Jaguar 1988 (non cover wheels) : maybe the greater prototype I've ever seen...

I am sure it has a more slippery shape and therefore stays on the ground better - perhaps Mercedes should look carefully at this design!

Of course this subject of best looking car (be it sportscar or F1 or whatever) is so subjective and nobody will ever agree so I think we should agree that my choice is correct and let that be the end of it.
Seriously though, these cars all look good in their proper setting, Le Mans or whatever but I've noticed that if you put them in with a sprinkling of totally different cars that they really stand out. At the fantastic Festival Of Speed one year even my wife was astounded by the (was it 1999 - the flying ones ?) Merecedes they had there, I believe she thought it would look good on the school run........
