Best looking f1 car ever!

That Eagle is a beautiful car. I'm hoping that with ISI being about the only (well, there's T10, but they don't do classics) US-based sim racing company, that they can strike a deal to get it in the game. Speed TV recently did a 1/2-hour special on the Eagle a month or two ago. It looked fantastic under the studio lighting.

Anyway, I'm a relative newb when it comes to F1 (only got into it in the past 6 or 7 years), but I really like the looks of the Williams FW14. I know it's a technologically significant car, but I love the cleanliness of it. The thing is so fricken' wide and low.

As far as paint goes, though, I really like the current Williams as well. Reminds me of the old British (Scottish?) rally helmets for some reason--can't think of the guy's name who wore it...anyway.

I tend to appreciate good design and lines that "work". Early-90s F1 cars are some of the best-looking that ever existed, but if I were to choose one from the last 5 years, I'd choose the Red Bull RB6. Sleek, purposeful, technically brilliant.

But my favourite of all time is one from the 50s... the Maserati 250F. Elegant and poised.

I personally am not real fond of the wavy wings on the new F1 cars. I know that technically they are superior for downforce and such, but they scream ugly to me. I too am a fan of the Eagle as they were sleek and look so stuck to the track when they showed them making corners at low angles. As far as livery, I have always been a fan of the JPS liveries with the black with gold highlights.
 
The 90s era was the best era in my view. Well, Late 80s to late 90s. Cars I can think of from that era

Good choice, I to really like the Fw14 too :)
 
Great piccies so far guys.

I detest the modern F1 cars, as they are truly ugly things and wish that they would return to wider, shorter cars with bigger rear tyres and wings, etc.. and no driver aids of any kind. But being prototypes that probably won't happen.

So I will miss the days of F1 cars sliding through corners, having a little slide under power out of corners.. all the things that made it interesting to watch back in the day.

And.. Ferrari 312 would be my choice for best F1 car of all time.
