I came up with it first, and now it's starting to pop up around F1 Today and I have spotted it in an F1 forum.
 
Ah! But the one seen there is "schlong nose", I use "schlong-nose".
 
Not a real race car, but the Red Bull X2014 is just awful... And the noise that it makes in GT6... :irked:

Try it it with an H-pattern shifter, it is so good. :drool:

I love the noise, I'm not a great lover of the speed of the car but that's probably talent-related.

When you're sitting trackside and several RBs are out practicing it sounds just like an F1 circuit back in the day, you can hear the exhaust notes echoing around in the distance. Very atmospheric to a relative oldie like me :D

2 things:

1. Pretty sure we're only talking real ones in this thread (at least going off the posts in the thread)

2. That's the Red Bull X2014 Jr you posted a picture of, which does not produce the same sound (assuming you are reffering to the X2014 Standard/Fan car)

Really biting its lip. And the bodykit is some kind of 80's club racer style.
 
Now that makes a normal Focus look stylish! :P
 
Is that one of the 2CV 24 Hour racers? It barely even looks like a 2CV.
 
Yes, yes it is.

Bringing this thread back for this monstrosity, the Zulltec Z72, an FIA CN Prototype which will be eligible for the new LMP3 class in the Asian Le Mans Series. I've likened it to one of those knock-off cars built off of a small two-door sports car chassis. The design is just so basic. It's just plain ugly. :yuck:

As for my contribution, here's the 2013 Praga R1.

It sort of apes the Caparo T1 and while I do give the company credit for actually finding a place to race it sucessfully (The Dutch Supercar Challenge series), I still think it's ugly as all get-up even though I enjoy form and function for the sake of form and function in car design.

These racing cars just scream "RIDGE RACER!!" for me. :lol:
 
Hopefully they got that lump looked at, it may be infected.:scared:

This will be the most glorious thread bump ever, I promise.

Definitely a glorious bump... did it get trapped in something? That's nasty :)

What car do those headlights come from? It's right on the tip of my tongue!
 
Bahahahahaha I love those Citroens! Especially the wanabe LMP version.

That Jawa thingamajiggy is plain awesome. I would love to build something similar just for the hell of it.

The GT-R LM Nismo:

Everything just looks really awkward and doesn't flow together well.
 
I think it's quite beautiful in its simplicity.

Then again, I don't think there's anything about that car you'll ever be cheery about.
