Worlds ugliest racecars?

[SlipZtrEm]

It only looks reasonably ugly from head-on. That profile shot is just awful.

 

[ClydeYellow]

Yeah... I think these do too:


Cannibal-Chevrolet WSC:

Also, was this ugly waste of a Delta Integrale posted already? The Errani Delta Erre20 looks awful enough without being lifted like this.

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

What car is it?

 

[Panoz]

I always find the cars in the Turismo Carretera to be ungainly looking creations. Also, I think the TC cars outward appearance haven't changed much in nearly 30 years.

Man, them bad boys actually look cool. Add head and taillights for night racing! 👍

 

[Northstar]

I think I now know the inspiration for the Fig Newton joke in Talladega nights.

Yup! If you can still see out the windshield, it's not enough.

They aren't really pretty, but I do like the look of them. And it's nearer 40 years of similarity.

Ended up doing Time Attack last year. Not terrible, but the nose is questionable.

Crew Chief: "So you're saying we need more downforce?"
Driver: "Yes, a lot of it!"
Crew Chief: "Well, how will we do that?"
Driver: "Take an airplane wing and stick it on top of the car, that's how!"

Either that, or they may have just been a bit loopy while looking at a picture of the Chaparral 2H.

Every LeMons car is pure beauty.

Every LeMons car is pure hilarity.

FTFY.

This

 

[GTRacer22]

And the Vision Gran Turismo cars

1. VGT's aren't real cars.
2. Only 8 of them are racecars.

 

[ApexDrift123]

Ok , I take that back .

That's it! You're on timeout!

 

[ApexDrift123]

What ??

 

[Bo]

How is any streamliner anything other than beautiful?

 

[ApexDrift123]

Ok then .. Decent car , but

If you think that , well , that's ok .

 

[Furinkazen]

In PD form. Horrific.

In real life, one of the most beautiful cars ever.

The only way these cars could have more sponsorship is if they literally spewed words on the track as they went by.

Lotus 56

Gas turbine powered car. Raced unsuccessfully in both Indy and F1.

Cosworth 4WD

Failed F1 prototype.

 

[GTRacer22]

In my opinion, that Lotus looks really cool.

 

[Liquid]

The Indy spec is a block of red Leicester and the F1 spec is a pregnant mess.

It's not a bad pregnant mess, though.

I'm horrified that someone considers this ugly. I think this is the most beautiful open wheel racing car of all time.

It also only failed to finish the '68 500 because Pratt & Whitney (who supplied the ST6B-62 to its predecessor, the STP-Paxton) were adamant on using heat sensitive extension shafts on the fuel pumps, so they couldn't handle the load once they picked up from the caution.
