top 50 cars
Having just read the Autosport top 50 racing cars thread in the Sportscar/GT section of the forum, it did seem ridiculous
Not really being sure where else on the forum to put this, I wondered what cars YOU would put in. Full lists are unneccessary, just a few candidates. Here are a few to get started on Jaguar C-type Lotus 79 Mercedes 300SLR Mille Miglia Audi Quattro 4WD Group B Porsche 956/962 " 917 Ferrari 312T I could go on, so come on, what do you think? |

The MINI!!! Maybe not an outright choice on the face of it, but it has won alot of stuff.
It even got banned once in rallying in the early 60's becuase it was so fast, the organisers though they were cheating! |

I also used to watch a lot of rallycross (I was a regular at the Bristish Rallycross Grand Prix), even though rallying itself has never done much for me. The RS200 was a fatsatic car to watch in that. |

Lancia Delta, Intergrale and S4,
in sports car it has to be the Ford GT40 at the top of the list. |
