Alfa Romeo Tipo 33 - In various guises, it was one of the most successful race cars ever.

McLaren M20 - INSANE and successful Can-Am machine. Good to go against the 2J.

Porsche 917 - Absolute Legend. And successful.

Indeed, possibly the prettiest car ever :bowdown:
And of course Tipo 33 too... :bowdown:

I'd pay good money to get proper simulations of those (DLC) 👍

Everything takes time. It took time for Porsche to get prepaired for their winning streaks.
Ford was fueled by rage, which is a boost I must say.
I was playing football (soccer for USA people), I was a goalkeeper. Before big matches my teammates used to piss me off so I was playing in rage mode. And I excelled.
Then I broke both of my hands on a game and I was forced to give up footy...
Just an example of how anger is somewhat good in competing.

Driving in rage is never ever a good idea - it leads to accidents, on the road and on the track. The Ford drivers were not driving around in a red mist. The Ford management were undoubtedly seriously miffed at being dismissed by Il Commendatore though. Then again Enzo was also rightly pissed off with Ford :lol: Ahhh, car and racing history in the making - to be a fly on the wall there...

And for the trinity (in this particular era), in alphabetical order:

Ferrari 330 P4 (a tie with the Alfa Romeo Tipo 33, but in all fairness I have to name only one of them to let the next two cars get on the list...)
Ford GT40 Mk IV (or should we say: Lola/Aston/Shelby GT40 Mk IV)
Porsche 917

Good list, I'd love 917K. But we can only dream to see it in GT5.

And at the post above - the Ford GT40 you know is Mark I and Mark II. What's the point in putting two GT40s in a trinity? :dunce:
