My favourite worst F1-car!

[xpensive]

Gentlemen,
This is a pet-thread of mine which I have contemplating for some time, please contribute with pictures, horse-stories or whatever on your favourite F1 shitbox.

My own favourite is obviously on my avatar.

Hope this will work for some of you.

The track record for the March 711 could be worse, I know. This thing is so ugly though that I think it has earned its place here.

[Sawtooth-spike]

Lola, 97. A car soooo far off the pace, a milk float had more down force.

[Sebp]

Tyrrell 025

[Sebp]

("Flat") Brabham BT55
The legitimate predecessor of the legendary MP4-4.
It failed miserably. A great looker though, imho.

[bidong]

The McLaren MP4-18 was such a looker; problem is no one saw it.



one of the great what ifs in mclaren history.

i loved how the way it looks like its always turning in. but still symmetrical (at the front) when viewed properly.

The Ferrari F310.



Ugly as sin and one of the few F1 cars with a sado masochistic engine.

[Tamburello]

("Flat") Brabham BT55
The legitimate predecessor of the legendary MP4-4.
It failed miserably. A great looker though, imho.

What a beautiful failure of a design!

Turbine y'all! (Lotus 56B)

[xpensive]

That golden Lotus 56 turbine was a beautiful piece of work, though another shitbox of course.

[Tozza Mazza]

Prost AP04. Such a failure, although aerodynamically the car looks rather good, and as a whole that deep blue is rather gorgy

[ESPImperium]

A couple of my favrouite shitboxes would be the following:

Hispania-Cosworth(Dallara)h F110:

Second worst car of the year, but id be happy to take one for a run id say

Super Aguri-Honda SA05/SA06:

Moving chichanes in 2006 however, were based on 2002 technology

Midland-Toyota MF1:

Same as the Superaguris above, but worse as they were upto date at the time, however based largly on the last Jordan

BMW.Williams FW24:

Failure because of the nose design. Was redesigned for last third of 2004

Bennaton B201:

The car was generally a decent one, but due to badly out of date design structure and tunnel Gasgoyne had to fix the whole team to move forward. The car that started the (faint) linage to the R25 and R26 in effect.

Mastercard Lola-Ford T97/30:

The ultimate --- box, they qualified 11.603 and 12.717 respectivly off the pace. At least Hispania made it look better with a car that was hardly tested.

Are we talking of worst-performing or worst-looking? If it's worst-looking, this is the first one that came to my mind

[andrew]

The Merc MGP W1!



The only F1 car I have seen that suffers from erectile dysfunction or did Norbert Haug sit on the nose!

[piast9]

I think that the old Arrows A2 also was a good looking disaster:
