Assuming it's new, the car would need to be much, much older for that to be JC.

Indy Roadster



Alfa Romeo 2900B



The Connew F1. If you don't know what this is, go to YouTube and enter "The Connew Story". It's nearly 10 mins telling a story of a home-built F1 car, and will break your heart. Modern GP racing is cr*p without a soul.

Most of the good ones have been named. Always liked the Maxi Megane, probably due to mid-90s Colin McRae Rally game love.

[Carlique]

Does this count?


Jaguar XJ13

It used to be Steve Green's Mk1 Cortina

Shelby Daytona


Ford Perana

Had that as a Focus WRC birthday cake when I was 10

As close to automotive racing perfection as we'll ever get in my opinion.......

[nicanary]

So the Merc is preferred to this?





Strictly speaking not a racing car, but a racer in all but function. The Uhlenhaut coupe.

[AJordan]

Dont know if any of these have been posted already, but here goes!



Yvan Muller's BTCC Astra Coupe, mainly because it was the first Scalextric model I ever had!



Any Jordan F1 car really...



Paddy Hopkirks Mini



But everything is second best to Jim Clarks Lotus Cortina

[nicanary]

It does seem that folks like what they saw when they were kids, so how come I like things from about 10 years earlier?



Ferrari 166MM

Talbot Lago T26

Ferrari Dino 246 F1

(I think these may be uploaded all wrong)

A lot of automotive porn in this thread, but I can't believe this hasn't appeared yet...



Other favourites of mine...



Or indeed any Group C car.



(Just loved the RS500 in this colour scheme for some reason)









(I think I'm the only one who prefers the Martini colours to Gulf on a 917.)

And from the short ovals...



Plus any Group B rally car - couldn't single out just one.

Lots of cars on here with not much power really

Gotta be one of these, watching a pair of Top Fuel dragsters going full tilt (even if it is only a 1000ft these days) doesn't get old, ever:

I took this (image is cropped) at the Finals last weekend


ETA: I suppose I could include my daily driver too as I use that for competitive racing
