Arai is a douche.
That is an Aston Martin DB4 Zagato. Zagoto passed not too long ago.Originally Posted by awestun
What's wrong with Arai? Kevin Schwantz likes them. lol

10 for a boosted Odyssey
Every interview I've ever read by Toshi Arai, he blamed his team for loosing. What a douche bag.

He's Japanese. They all do.
You should see Honda's HRC and Yamaha's YEC bosses. They are ridiculous. Remember why Rossi left Honda? Oh and don't me get started about Toyota's F1 management sitcom.
So a 9 for the Isuzu. Always liked that one.
Next. the fwd TC2000 machines of Argentina
yeah the Japanese are too proud to admit fault.
9 for the civic.
Loeb is a douche too.
10 for the Greatest ever WRC driver and 6 time champion.
Mazda RX-7 (Fabcar) Team Arnature (Ran as an Imsa GTS so it is one of the Downing/Mazda Motorsport "Pete Halsmer" GTO cars.
10 for one of the greatest FC's to grace the Earth, I wonder where it's at now
10 for Ferrari.
I see Awestun is in a pretty rally mood of late.
9 for the Abarth.
In mothballs. \/ click

Some old Riverside.
Always in the mood for rally
I have no clue what car that is, so I'll give it an 8. Old le mans?
Sort of my inspiration.
Ooh rally E30 gets a 9.
The red car is a Ferrari 612 P

10, I love random tube frame race cars.
What about a fake one? That allowed?
Not unless a working prototype exists.
Like this....1996 TOMS Toyota "Lumpy" LMP
Haha I remember that, reminded me too much of those Toyota sports racers, AHHHH what were they called??? Raced in the mid to late 90's. I give it a 7.Not unless a working prototype exists.
Like this....1996 TOMS Toyota "Lumpy" LMP
The Porsche.
EDIT GOT A BETTER PIC
Some work i have to do on these posts.
So mid to late 90's Toyota prototype. This could be a couple but the majority were late 80's to early 90's. The TTE TS020 came up in 1998.
In 1994, the final evolution of the Tom's/DOME machines raced at Le Mans which was the Toyota 94C-V ran under SARD.
Besides that, you have the other Toyotas starting from the 1985 Dome 85C and TOM'S 85C all the way to the 1994 94C-V
The Eagle AAR HF89, HF90, and GTP dominant Mark III.
Last, you have the greatest car Toyota ever did. The Tony Southgate designed TS010 which Andy Wallace still says is the best car he's ever raced. It was done in partnership with Tom's.
That is every prototype having to do with Toyota from 1985 till 1999.
That's not just any 968. That is the ULTRA rare Porsche 968 Turbo RS. Porsche made just four of these cars for the German ADAC GT Cup.
http://www.racingsportscars.com/phot...993-05-30.html
The cars were run under Joost, Roock, and Seikel racing and chassis 820065 contested the 1994 Le Mans. These are some of the greatest and most desirable front engined Porsches ever made.
This is the Le Mans car.
And finally, the E30. I could have sworn Patrick Snyers' BMW M3 was sponsored by Bastos cigarettes instead of Castrol lol. The car was run by Prodrive and I'm much more used to seeing the Bastos livery that came up in 1990.
Ok...Alpine Rally XK120

It was.
10 for the celica. I have an hd version of that exact same picture.
9 for the 968

Whoa I didn't know the XK120 was rallied. 10 of course.
I believe this was the first appearance of the Ferrari prancing horse logo.
Looks to be a Alfa Romeo 8C 2300 LM so yeah. It would be. I did look into it and apparently, the 1932 Spa 24 was the first time the badge was used.
10. Cool choice.
Probably one of the most famous pics ever.
I think the old lmp cars were more fun to watch. 10
9.8! how about this one.
Life begins at 6000 RPMS.. You will notice an audible change in engine noise, large increase in acceleration and any female passengers will immidiately start to remove their clothing.
Built to be a street car but does many time attacks so i'll let it slide. 8
Alfa Romeo 155 GTA
Won the Italian Superturismo championship in 1992 with driver Nicola Larini.
I think I remeber that one from Granturismo 4 haha I'll give it an 8 as well.
I was worried about this. In the early 90's, Alfa Romeo made many different versions of the 155 for touring car racing that it is really hard to distinguish all of them.
155 GTA - I'm still verifying this was to FIA Group A regs.
ENGINE: Alfa Romeo 2.5 V6 Turbo
Notice how big the rear wing was allowed and aero work on the front bumper.
1992 - Italian Superturismo Championship winner with Nicola Larini.
155 V6 Ti - Built for FIA Class I regs and raced in the DTM.
ENGINE: Alfa Romeo 2.5 V6 NA
Notice the extreme body modifications including up swept exhaust.
1993 - DTM Champion with Nicola Larini.
155 TS - Built for FIA Class II regs. Even in its initial races, the small rear wing and front splitter were widely opposed by the other teams.
Engine: Alfa Romeo 2.0 I4 NA
1994 - British Touring Car Champion with Gabriele Tarquini.
1994 spec
1995 spec with even more aero modifications after they were allowed.
155 V6 Ti (1995 and 1996 DTM/ITC)
ENGINE: Alfa Romeo 2.5 V6 NA
The car was heavily altered to have a raised floor with a diffuser replacing the upswept exhaust.
Vote for any of those. I'm tired of typing.

my bad, did know there were so many. Anyways I'll give the last v6 Ti 9.5 because it looks like it could hang with the current dtm pack.
No biggie. I just wanted to label them out for myself since it is so hard to find info on the CIVT series in which the 155 GTA competed.
The Nissan gets a definite 10 as it was the best gas powered (and therefore best sounding) vehicle of the 2009 Dakar.
1968 Corvette L88 Scuderia Filipinetti Le Mans Racer
of course the vette gets a 10. The L88 imo was the best vette yet.
That's WTCC champion Ivan Muller. Sadly after that pic was taken, a truck hit him and the car burned down. He was fine but the car, not so much.
Next...
olive garden 550. Wasn't that car notorious for breaking? 10 for a ferrai.
It was an Italiaspeed car. Not a Prodrive so I'm assuming so.
Back in the days when Indycar was right there with Formula 1. Penske vs Reynard vs Lola and Andrettis vs Mansell vs Fittipaldi.
1997 Penske PC26 Mercedes (The last Penske Indy Car)
I remember seeing one of those cars in "Scariest crashes of all time" at Indy.
Therefore, 9

98 Subaru Legacy GT
89 325i. 400hp hoon-mobile.
Oooh. This is a great one. I remember seeing it a while back but never found the info on it.
BMW X5 gets a 10. The whole team had Colin McRae badges.
e31 race car, 10. If anyone gives an 8-series less than a 10, they know nothing.
I never even knew they raced the 8-series. Amazing.
10 for the Dakar Lancer.
I may have posted this before, so if I have, forgive me.
