: Looking through the great new catalog Jeff
: posted (see thread below) I noticed a great
: picture of of Ferrari 312T2 (I didnt
: remember the designation, but google
: reminded me). That version, and the previous
: version with the upright intake (312T) I
: think was my favourite F1 car.

While I like '60's BRM's & Lotus for their slim elegant design and 70's Tyrell's for the '70's ideas on downforce. I think it's kinda hard to beat the Ferrari in the catalog that Jeff posted a couple of days back:

I believe this picture must have been taken the year after F1 banned the tall air boxes because they were getting out of hand, so Ferrari's solution was to put the engine air intake right around the windscreen. Neet and tidy in my opinion... That it has the Heuer logo upfront and high is a plus too.. (BTW, it's Lauda, someone else, then Regazzoni in this picture...)

But one could spend days looking at old F1 cars before picking out their favorite.

I'd actually have an easier time with Indy cars or Can-Am... But that's because I had more access to information about those back in the day. Oh for the "way-back" machine...
