Honda RA300.
Not because it's elegant, but because it looks fat and powerful.

My head says the Lotus 49. My heart says the Ferrari 312/66 and 312/67

We did! Ah, those were the days. Battling at Silverstone, your controversial collisions with NVirkkula, my win at Keimola (such a memorable circuit that I have completely forgotten how it goes).
I much preferred the 1965 cars in a lot of ways, but that 1967 season we had was my best memory of GPL by far.

I can't possibly choose between the RA300, the T1G and the 312/67. It's all on a day-to-day basis. But today, it was the RA300.

For me the Lotus 49, closely followed by the Eagle.

I was a Gurney and AAR (F1, Indy, Can Am (McLeagle), F5000, T/A ('Cuda), IMSA (GTU & GTO (Celicas), GTP). As gorgeous as the T1G was, I would have preferred seeing it in my mirrors than one of these pretty thangs........

Yes, I favored the 49 and I always wondered (and still do), if we hadn't lost Jim ( ), had he continued thru at least '70, would those additional three years also have been his championship years due to it (and the 72, of course)?
Siiiggghhh, we'll never know.....

I've often thought that. At least 5 championships. Same could be said for Senna.

First, the result of Hill's wing failure and......

The 49 was fast and fragile. It got overtaken by its own wheels sometimes.
