After the best drivers cars thread, no surprise the top picks are almost lifted straight from motorsport...

So what's everyone's ONE favourite car from any given motorsport? nothing too obscure though

F1, GT/Le Mans, WSC (World Sportscar Champs), WRC, WTCC, BTCC, DTM, JTCC/JGTC (Jap), ATCC (Aus), MotoX, D1 Drifting etc.

Mine are:

F1: McLaren Mp4/4



GT: McLaren F1 GT-R



WSC: Porsche 956



WRC: Metro 6R4



BTCC: Sierra RS500



DTM: Mercedes CLK GTR



JGTC: Takata Honda NSX

 

If I could have any car from the history of motorsport ever it would be this one:



Paddy Hopkirks multiple event winning mini cooper S, pictured above winning the 1964 monte carlo rally, and I do not mean just winning its diminutive CC class but winning the entire event overall.

 

Mine would be the focus Rs... That Colin mcrea had.

 

my favourite driven by the legend that is jean ragnotti

 

He is a fucking legend

Great car too, good choice

 

bluntys1rsturbo great shout... seen him doing parade laps in rally Renaults, went to Silverstone last year for their world series. Dude's still got it! lol

 

It's amazing how good he is.
Love this vid of him driving a FWD car more sideways than most of us could manage in a RWD one!

^^^^.. fuck me now that what you call pushing a FWD.

 

He's one of the reasons I always wanted a mk1 clio

Now I have one, I can say with absolutely certainty I dont have the talent to drive it properly like that anyway

 

Not seen that vid in ages!

I'd always show it to mates who cussed out RST's for being FWD shit handlers that could never drift, why I picked a rally driver in a Clio fuck knows

 

feeling the love for the car and driver i chose glad you guys agree and chip your certainly right about how he drives a fwd car its unreal and i never get bored of watching his vids iv also seen him do his parade laps on a few occasions i was hoping he would of been at the cholmondeley pageant of power this year but it was not to be

 

MENTAL! what a driver

 

that is some brutal driving love it

 

My childhood racing hero and childhood favourite ever car. Will have on exactly like this one day.

 

For the love of god, if you do, don't put the stickers on it!

 

When I say exactly, I mean that version of STi...not a stickered up rally rep

 

one of my favourites is colin mcrae's old 3dr. its gorgeous. love the rally aston martin db9's aswell

 

Got to be the mk2 escort roger clark and ari vatenen and 2nd metro 6r4 and 3rd lancia delta s4 what a beast.

 

I thought subapoos came like this frombthe factory cause every fooker i see has the stickers on lol.

 

Thats a 22b shell isnt it?

 

as always mk2 escort roger clark

 

If i had the chance and experience to handle it would have to be the S1 at full chat

 

the FW15c. supposedly the most advanced f1 car ever.

 

This has always floated my boat altho I usually arent that fond of Capris

http://racing65.com/history.html ( its thed 1.4 turbo one I like - 390+ bhp )

 

That's definitely the best looking of the Impreza rally cars, I'd love one of the wide arch 22B type shells

Hard questions this.

Best touring car is the RS500 for me, though the super touring era was a great time too, as they're the touring cars I grew up with really.

Rally car; for me it would be the Escort Maxi kit car. Certainly not the best, or most successful, rally car ever, as it was never really used to its full potential thanks to Ford and their bean counting, but it was truly something special to me. Along with the Escort Cosworth, it's the last great rally car Ford made in my eyes. The final Gwyndaf Evans works car would do me, P2 FMC, put back to its original works spec. Just need to find the money to persuade the owner to sell it

Le Mans style/GT car would be the McLaren F1 without doubt.

Don't really have a favourite F1 car I must say!

 

I love the Ferrari 512 for it's stunning looks:


Rich

 

Ferrari F430 Race Car.. Just looks stunning!

 

Pretty sure above Subaru is the 22b. That or an STi v6 I'd love to own.

 

and of course the Martini Delta

 

there is one of them sat in the window of Owens ferrari, not far from Harrods in London. looks crazy sat in a shop window, next to a 458! lol

 

I know of that one my mate Luke was working on the AC right above it and was told he'd be in a lot of trouble if he dropped any tools on it

I think he took a photo of it i'll just check his Facebook.

Yep here it is:

im suprised no one has put the rs200
but the best car in motor sport has to be the saloon car championship mini's they used to beat the mk1 escorts and all other more powerful cars than the little mini what a brilliant car they were

 

For me its the Volvo 850 Estate touring car that was...from what i beleive...entered by mistake to the touring car seasons, as it was ment to be the saloon.....lol

To see an Estate competing and doing VERY well in the mid 90's was superb...............

The volvo 850 estate was a great car. My sister had a t5 and fuck it was quick.
