Race bred machine, race cars in general and your favorite racing cars

[Leadfoot530]

Prepare for photo dump!

My all time favorite of any car, racer or not, the Ford GT40 Mk1. Gulf livery is bonus point for me.

The next generation, the GT40 Mk2. I've tried recreating the #2 on multiple games

Last of my GT40 loves, the MkIV; drivers included AJ Foyt, Dan Gurney, for whome the "Gurney Bump" was made for, and Mario Andretti. Foyt and Gurney won Le Mans in '67, while Andretti won at Sebring. Specific details beyond this are not of my knowledge.

When it comes to modern GT racers, the Corvette C7.R ran by Corvette Racing and Larbre Competition takes the cake. Wide, low and fast. They don't look much meaner than this!

Finally, another one of my "Old School Coolies" is the Shelby GT350R. There's something about a bumperless '65 with the iconic Le Mans Blue stripes that instantly makes it cool.

The BRM P83 : Duraluminium monocoque mated to a mid mounted, three litre, naturally aspirated, 16 cylinder engine in a compact H layout, developing 420 brake horse power at 10,500 revolutions per minute. With its manual six speed gearbox the P83 can reach speeds close to 200 miles per hour and tips the scales at a mere 1480lbs...
...and I even like the colour.

So? I think GT1 always had great looking cars. Porsche 911 GT1 for example must be one of the best looking race cars ever. At least in my opinion. Just like the Ferrari 550 Maranello GT1.

Sure it's been posted many times before, but the GT-One its my favourite racecar of all time, and is just too stunning not to post more of

And of course, it is at its prettiest in its '98 Zent Liveried form

The GT2 version of the Ford GT back in the ALMS. When it came to the class I was playing the heck out of GT4, and enjoying PD's take on a modern Ford GT racer. When I saw it on track I was ridiculously excited. While it never did terribly well, and didn't get a ton of camera time, I loved it. I hope we get in in a game someday, because its V8 was awesome, and the bodywork was beautiful.

The GT-R GT2 has been in a fair few games.

Just saw that on SpeedHunters, and was like "ohh ma gawd!!!!"

As someone in the comments section there said, I bet NOB has sly grin, rubbing his hands together, muttering "finally"

It's a V6 Metro

That's not a V6 Metro. THIS is a V6 Metro.

Nice spoof of the SX4.

It's a V6 Metro

We could probably have a whole thread devoted to LeMons and similar series' if there any.

This was in the same race as the Metro and actually looks rather good.

 

[-Fred-]

Team Charnal House's MetSho (because it's a Geo Metro with an SHO V6 in the back, get it?) actually looks cooler and cooler every year.

This was the first iteration:

2nd version:

The 3rd version is the GoPro SX4 spoof seen above, but the current one absolutely takes the proverbial cake.

Full build thread over the years, click at your own risk because swearing, a lot.

I've always been a fan of the Acura ARX-1. Especially with the Patron Highcroft livery.

My brother and I got out of the shifter kart (125 ICC) phase and looking to get into a Stohr WF1:

Possibly the cheapest track car $100k (used ones are lower) to get that can run sub 1:30s at laguna seca.

Dude, get GTR2. It costs pennies, and I'm running it on a budget laptop that I've had for four years. The Ford's out there on several mods, and I can run 60 cars at Spa even with my low spec equipment.

 

[TheElbows]

Nice combination and nice livery.

How can you not like the A110?

Always liked the old 575 GTC (when I attended LeMans in 2001? it was the fastest car down the straight...even faster than the prototypes)
