Too many tough choices... but F1 longtail take it for me. Been a fave for tooooo loooong.

 

[Mike458]

F1 longtail instantly wins.

 

[7up747]

1998 Mercedes-Benz CLK LM

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

That was the CLR though.

 

[7up747]

That was the CLR though.

Edited. My bad. Still clk.

 

[Vegard]

That was the CLR though.

The CLR was introduced for the 1999 season.

 

[LM7325]

The F1 wins it for me. I love all of them though, it was at interesting era at Le Mans for sure.

 

[CyborgGT]

Ooh, super tough. Toyota just edged it though. Fond memories of racing that car in Test Drive Le Mans on PS1.

Speaking of video games... that looks like it actually is a screen shot.

 

[AudiMan2011]

911 GT1.

 

[All Your Base]

Umm...

Car Polls Round 42: 1981 FIA GT1 Prototypes

All these cars are from 1998, not 1981.

Anyways, I voted the R390. It's easily my favorite FIA GT1 prototype and it's my second favorite Le Mans car of all time (only behind the 787B).

 

[Jahgee]

The 1981 McLaren F1 is my favorite car, so glad they made it into a GT1

 

[LM7325]

Well for 1981 I have to give it to the Porsche 936, but the Lola T600 is very deserving machine too.

 

[CarBastard]

If we made a poll for hardest poll, this one would win it. No, wait, it would tie with the GT1-era GTLMs...or with the GT3s? AHHHHHHHHH 🤬! THIS 🤬 IS HARD!

Anyways, I...uhmmm...eenie, meenie...I don't know why but the R390. No particular reason why, just picking the first one that comes to mind. Something about it being the least succesful of them all, dat Calsonic livery and all of the Gran Turismo memories.

 

[JC_Dude]

911 GT1

I had a funny voting criteria for these, I like them all but am not enough of a GT1 afficionado to really vote on the track versions, so I looked at the homologated road versions. There's only the one road-legal GT-One which is on display. The Porsche, McLaren and Merc are all very rare, but it's not impossible to see one, somewhere. The R390 I believe there are two of, one of which Nissan have on show, the other is wrapped in cotton wool somewhere. So that leaves the odd, hens-teeth rare but still driven Panoz:

OH MY GOD. THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.

 

[Northstar]

I went with the F1 as it's the first car I really liked and it pretty much got me into racing.

The Panoz it probably up there as well purely because of how different it is compared to the rest.

 

[MedigoFlame]

Such a great time. I'll admit, my Toyota fanboy-ism is steering me towards the TS020. Fell in love with that car in Gran Turismo 2.

 

[Dolph Drago]

Just like the GT1 and GT3 polls, I can't decide. So many beautiful cars.

 

[Sp3edst3r]

*sees CLK* Instantly that, beauti--
*sees R390* Actually maybe that, love the colo--
*sees Esperante* Nah definitely that, first car i bought in Gran Turi--
*sees GT-One* OH COME ON!
I really dunno, I love these cars (sorry McLaren/Porsche lovers I never really grew up with games where they were existent) but I cannot decide.. I'm just going to choose the Esperante because you can still buy the road versions today, selecting the colour and everything! Sorry gtone r390 and clk, your homologation models are *too* rare and priceless for me to choose youse

Didn't realise you could still order one of these, nice! 224mph and 0-60 in 3.2s, not too shabby.

 

[MisterWaffles]

I missed this poll, but I would have gone with the CLK

 

[JR98]

Missed poll but would've chosen the Porsche. IMO the best looking and has the best livery.

That's because it's an AC mod
