My favourite worst F1-car!

RB10

A classic case of holding thy tongue, lest ye look foolish

The "Stanley Steamer" was the last F-1 car designed by Len Terry... and the last F-1 BRM. Sad story.

The P201 was ugly as a horses ass, but it worked pretty decent;

I remember that car. I've seen it racing in the Historic F1 against the guys I worked for in Monaco like 10 years ago, when they needed some circuit analysis. They were pretty worried by this car but (fortunately, if I heard them well) it crashed.

Talking about horse's rears, I just heard Benny Hill's "Harvest of Love". Sorry for the quotation:

I rise at six and then I feed the chicks,
And I'm feeling lonesome and blue,

And when I milk the cow it seems, somehow,
My thoughts keep straying to you.

And as the horse and I plough the field nearby,
Your memory I can't erase,

For while I walk at the rear of the horse, my dear,
I seem to see your face.

Len Terry died recently, two months ago. He was a big fan of Historic Lotus.

Great designer, better than Newey, when cars had to have suspensions.

So so unreliable, but just so beautiful the Arrows A19

The Andrea Moda car was utterly terrible (rivalling the Life badness) but I think it has some of the cleanest lines and nicest proportions on any F1 car.

Do these count, X?

Prost AP01



Prost AP03

Yes they do Mort, that livery is absolute abomination, Bic, Gauloises, Agfa, Playstation and Yahoo, what a mess!

It's hard to say how bad the car really was, because the team was so awful. They probably never got anywhere near it's potential.

The Modena Lambo 291 was a most horribly ugly car, almost morbid, what do you say Ciro?

What? Ugly? It's a beaty!

I'm torn if this should be considered. After all it did win a race but of the 29 races it was entered in it finished just 6 races. It also failed to qualify in 2 other races.

Totally hopeless;

[DaveKillens]

Judged solely as a competitive machine, the Renault RS01 was a complete failure and the very definition of unreliability, just one pole from 25 races and 21 DNF's.



Nothing special, a bit chunky and crammed with radiators. But as a concept, as a sign of the future, this was the first Formula One turbo engined car. What followed became a distinct era in the history of Formula One.

This was also pretty bad;
