Racing should be decided on the track, not the court room.

One of the worst cars ever made by Ferrari, but that was the first Ferrari I saw when I started watching GP races in 1992...
And to me that was the most beatiful car on the grid!

I suprised nobody has posted this yet:

The shark-nosed Dino


Also here are some of the more recent cars that I think are quite underrated in terms of beauty.

Image
EJ12.

Image
C24 - quite stremlined design with the maddest undercut sidepods of the 00's.
Didn't perform very well though...

Image
MP4-19B. The Monza one-off version of the car that made a TV presenter run a lap of Silverstone naked.

Image
The early version of the STR02.

Adrian Newey's 1989 Leyton House had a beautifull design with a horrible livery. :lol: imagine that thing in Ferrari or BMW livery, yummy.
Image

they even had team uniforms in the same ugly colour. I think it looks better on Adrian than on the car.

Gordon Murray designed, BMW turbo powered 1981 Brabham in BMW livery
