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 :)

(My heart also says the 156 Sharknose)

We both raced the Lotus in the GPL online series, right? ;)

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)? :dunno:

Siiiggghhh, we'll never know.....

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

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