Any Lambo love on here?

Is that an R-GT? Loved that car in PGR3 on the 360, MASSIVE rear wing and diffuser, blacked out and RWD only, all my housemates could only master the regular murc, or in the same class as the R-GT the Enzo, not the tail happy R-GT. I had some slides with it, but if i had a good lap, no-one could touch me/it

This usually gets a good reaction (and quite a lot of 'I had one just like that 20 years ago' - no, no you didn't)

If that is your car/one you are associated with, can I just say it was absolutely flying at the Cadwell rally that picture was from. Quite easily the best car to watch each time

Thanks - I co-drive and prep it.

Ok, call me weird but Steve Soper's battered BMW coupe is my pick. I'd watched F1, rallying, rallycross et al but nothing got me into motorsport more than early 90's Touring cars and this BM doorhandled in magnificent fashion while still looking familiar (thanks again Alfa for spoiling that). This series, THAT race, this car. Sadly I'm struggling to find a better pic - I'm quite sure someone may have a screen grab or maybe just a library image.

"He's going for first, says Cleland"

I'm sure that is what he meant by the gesture, Murray!

Loved the way Murray explained those things away

In F1, nothing has ever looked this good.

Going to have to agree with you there.....

Who was the designer?

Gary Anderson - Apparently he did a lot of the design work alone over the Christmas break. The fact that the car was pretty competitive in year one with a customer Ford engine shows it didn't just look good.

Barnato's original Blue Train Bentley Speed 6:

Actually people now think that wasn't the car he used, as it was still being built at the time:

Edit - which is a shame because it is just about the best looking car to ever wear a Bentley badge.

After watching the Aston Martin Vulcan blast around Brands today, it left an impression. Amazing looking car, and i'm not to sure what power the weight the car has, but it made a P1 look slow. Just plain epic.

Another vote for the greatest British sports car

[andy97]

Not with that rear wing, lol!

Hi Andy,
That's why it's nice to have the choice between the Chevrolet or the Rover. I love both but completely different drives as you can imagine.

That looks cool to me. Something about the wheel/wheel arch bump/lights/massive bonnet vent combo
