    Ron-great call on the 312T although I think that's Niki driving the 312T2 in 1976-first full season I followed F1...any 312T3 pics? :)

    PS-any Lotus 77 and 78 pics? :)

    for open wheelers the wolf wr-1 was not mentioned nor was the jps lotus 78!!

    two of the best!

    i bet we won't ever have to worry about adding the recent vintage f-1 cars to this list.

    I mentioned the 78 just before you posted and yes I forgot to mention the WR1. Great car in its simplicity...

    Hands down the 1999 CLK GTR is the prettiest. and in fact the most dangerous. These were the infamous cars that took flight in the race due to poor aerodynamics in the front. didnt happen once but twice and Mercedes decided to pull them from racing.

    Does Andretti count? Not on this computer, I am out of the country, but I will hopefully remember to come back with photos of that Lotus.

    I believe it was the porshe gt1 that used to flip, tough maybe they both did for all I know. Nonethess, the last version of the GT1 was a one spectaular design.

    It was actually the CLR that flipped (the evolution of the GLK-GTR) and my vote.

    Jag XJ-13, although I'm not sure it counts as it didn't actually make it onto the track!
