If you could own any 5 race cars.......
Discussion
very hard as I could easily pick 5 f1 cars or 5 sportscars but I had to cover all bases so....
Lotus 11 and Lotus 49 - either should get me into pretty much every historic event going, Monaco, Nurburgring oldtimer, Goodwood, Silverstone....
Bugatti T35 - For the VSCC stuff...
Porsche 962 - For the Group C revival series and a Le Mans classic entry...
Ferari 250TdF - I realised I would need something road legal for historic rallies, enduros, Tour Brittania, Panamericana etc

I'm picking ones that I can relate to from my time watching motorsport.
1. Vauxhall Cavalier chassis 022 http://www.supertouringregister.com/register/vehic...
2. The 2009 BTCC-winning BMW 320Si, mainly because I've sat in it and would love to drive it!
3. Aston Martin DBR9. The looks, the noise, the heritage.
4. Aston Martin Lola DBR 1-2. As number 3.
5. Volvo 850 BTCC. I'll always remember going to my first BTCC race in 1994 and the howling 5-cylinder engine ringing through my ears.

Alfa Romeo 33TT12 - funny-looking car with some of the funniest drivers driving it.
Lancia Delta HF Integrale - ugly but purposeful.
Jordan 191 - may not have been the fastest, but it's the most beautiful F1 car I've seen.
Ferrari 312 T2 - when I close my eyes, *this* is the F1 car I see.
and the Glickenhaus Ferrari P4/5 Competizione - lust, greed, covetousness, all the sins in a four-wheel package.

Hm, difficult considering I like far too many race cars, but I'll give it a try
-Ferrari 250 GTO -> wrote a story on the one that spend years in a field some time ago, see: http://www.theretromobilist.com/historic-racing/11...
-Aston Martin DB4 Zagato
-Jaguar D-type
-Toleman-Hart TG185
-Mazda RX-3 (because of the insane rotary engine soundtrack)
