Best looking single seater?

[johnph]

I'd say it was the 2003 CART World Series Lola

Saw them at Long Beach and Brands that year.

On a similar theme, the Panoz DP01 is one of the best looking recent single seaters.

I know pretty much no one will agree with me on this, but I loved last year's McLaren and Ferrari. I think they were both stunning.

[Ahonen]

I always thought the McLaren MP4-8 was a really good looking car. Neat and purposeful, without too many extra random appendages:

MP4/6 does it for me.............

I 100% agree with you sir. With all the aero parts they were a really intricate work of art.

I agree - though I also think Lancat has a point with the Lotus 49

[Eric Mc]

I have quite a few contenders -

1957 Vanwall
1961 Ferrari Sharknose
1963 Lotus 25
1967 Lotus 49
1972 Lotus 72 (the JPS version looks nicer tha the original 1970 Gold Leaf cars)
1979 Lotus 79
1989 Ferrari F189
1991 Jordan 191

I don't particularly think that modern F1 cars (and I mean those produced over the last ten years) are particularly handsome as I find that all the aerodynamic protuberances spoil the clean lines - and I particularly don't like the raised noses and overly complex front wings.

Alfa Romeo 12C-37. Like the 250F, if you were a kid then and asked to draw a racing car, that's what you'd draw.
