Iconic Racing Cars and Motorcycles

[mcbook]

I'm planning to cover the back wall of my garage with posters of iconic racing cars from the last 30-ish years. From 1980s until the present. I have no restrictions on formulas/categories but I do enjoy F1, Rally, Moto GP, Dakar, Touring car, Endurance/Prototype/Le Mans. I think I'll need about 20 posters to cover the wall and contenders so far are:

F1: McLaren MP4/4, Williams FW14B

Rally: Subaru Impreza, Audi Quattro

Le Mans: Porsche 956, McLaren F1 GTR, Audi R18

Moto GP: Honda NSR500, Yamaha YZR-M1

Dakar: Cagiva Elefant, KTM 450 Rally

Touring car: Mercedes 190 Evo, Volvo 850, Alfa 155

Over to you guys for more suggestions - thanks!

F1: One of Chapman's Lotuses (Jim Clark Era; plus JPS era); Sharknose Ferraris? Tyrrell 6 wheeler?
Rally: Has to be a Delta in there, manybe also Paddy Hoppkirk's mini and a MK2 Escort BDA
Le Mans: Blower Bentleys, FOrtd GT40, Porsche 917, Mazda Rotary
Touring Cars: M3 and Sierra Cosworth have to be in with a shout; Lotus Cortina?


Hope your gargae walls are massive- the list of ultra-desirable metal/composite is huge!

Thanks for the suggestions! I'm trying to keep to vehicles from my lifetime hence no mention of the older F1 stuff - need to keep the numbers down somehow.

The Delta and Sierra will definitely be added to the list!

I'd suggest (in addition to your choices, you've got some good 'uns there)


F1: Maserati 250F, Ferrari 312, Jordan 191

Rally: Lancia 037/Stratos/Delta S4, Renault 5 Gp.B, Mini (the Paddy Hopkirk one, obviously!)

LM: D-type, Mazda 787, Peugeot 905, Toyota GT-1, Jaguar XJR-9, Ford GT40

TC: Anything from the S2000 days to accompany the mighty 850 really, I'd probably say the green+gold Lagunas or the duct-tape bumper Mondeo.

Thanks!

I really like the Jordan 191, Mazda 787 and Laguna.

I don't know how old you are but I include the following bikes;
Honda RC30 (Joey Dunlop)
Ducati GP7 (Casey Stoner)
Suzuki RG500 (Barry Sheene)

and a Porsche 959 in Rothmans livery

Great suggestions for the bikes, thanks!

Definitely agree with the Elefant, but I reckon you also need one of Chagin's Kamaz's and a ZX Rally Raid or Pajero Evo.


Britten V1000 needs to be on the list for sheer iconic status too. IoM top speed record, world records for standing 1/4 and mile, NZ GP and Superbike wins...

Kamaz... great shout!
