Ok, i can see a load of people saying GT40 here but whats your favorite race car of all time. Im thinking along the lines of Jaguar D-type! It won le mans 1955, '56 and '57 , a few years before the ferraris and GT40s took over.

I'd say there aren't many of those raced!

I really admire technical innovation. Particularly those which win.

Tyrrel P34

Brabham BT46B

Audi Quattro

Dodge Charger

(Not an innovator, but the General's definitely a favourite)

In that configuration, i think it was a total of 3. They have all been converted for road use though.

What about this one: http://b.f1-facts.com/ul/a/1264

Deadly race car.

These ones are more recent but I love them nonetheless...

1996 Championship Winning Williams Renault FW18

2003 Le Mans winning Bentley Speed 8

Current Lola Champ Car

Has to be the 1966 427 for looks, noise, speed and inspiring fear as a widowmaker!
I know they weren't raced that much. The old Can-Am series cars were beasts too:

Liking the audi R10 too and the lancia delta.

Lovely 7up

1967 Lotus 49

More of a weapon than a racecar. 400BHP, 500Kg's, rock hard treaded non-radial tyres and no seatbelt.

Id be a happy bunny if F1 went to a grid of these!

Modern F1, the 1994 Ferrari is one of my favs.
