F1 Most liked posts in thread: What's your favorite F1 car?

that's a 3 liter V12 1967 Ferrari. This is the 1965. skinny tires and tiny 1.5L v8

 

My favorite - barely ahead of Lauda's 1975 tall airbox 312T

 

Lotus 78. Had a Corgi toy of it as a kid. Love that livery.

 

Dan Gurney's Eagle. What a guy what a car.....

There are so many it is hard to pick just one.

 

Brabham BT44 & BT45.

 

Any Red Ferrari.

Nice car, great driver, terrible seating position. :wink:

 

In my book, the best ever.

 

Blower Bentley.

 

Well, if we're talking Grand Prix cars and not strictly F1....

 

Gone too soon. He was the best in his era, but sadly we didn't get to see him fullfill his full potential. Imagine all the great battles he would have had with Schumacher.

 

By far, these guys were my favorites back in the day.

 

Jackie Oliver was one of the drivers, can't remember the other one.

 

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Anything per 70s, they had so much character compared to what is out there now, and they were all competitive.

 

Several notable drivers have piloted the Shadow cars...

Jean-Piere Jarier
Alan Jones
Tom Pryce
Peter Revson
George Follmer
Graham Hill (drove a Shadow DN1 for his 1973 Embassy Hill team)
Brian Redman
Danny Ongais (Interscope Racing)

 

"Jumper" Jarier was the one I was thinking of. And wasn't Tom Price driving one when he was killed in South Africa?

 

^^^ Yes. He struck a track worker running across the track with a fire extinguisher, responding to his teammate (in the 17 Shadow) whose car was pulled to the side near the rail and beginning to catch fire. The extinguisher struck Pryce in the head, killing him. The worker was killed as well...

 

I remember seeing that video, thank god the stewards don't do that stuff now.
