WI Gilles Villeneuve didn't crash in Zolder?

In the motosport issue I mentioned early most contemporaries said he pushed the car harder and stressed it more. He was a harder driver than Sheckter, of all people...
Ouch.:eek:

BTW, those gfx cars are about the ugliest machines I've ever seen in my life.:eek: Never a fan of wing cars, but those are beyond the pale.:rolleyes:

From that angle, not bad. I'm sensing the griddle look in a top view, tho.

What I want is one of these:

I don't imagine FIA banning wings any time soon...:rolleyes:
 
There are different types of beauty. Natalie Portman and Cate Blanchet are very different types, and they're both beautiful women. The Lotus 79 was know as black beauty in the English press when it was new, so many regarded it as beautiful. The 312T series F1 ferraris that feature in this thread are more of a muscular, functional type. They looked impressive on the move, for sure...
The later 126C cars are arguably better looking, certainly when parked next to the blunt nosed FW8 Williams they faced in 82/83.
And some turbo era cars are very pretty. The Gordon Murray designed Brabham BMW had a sort of practical handsomeness.

I'd say beauty is very subjective. I'm not a particular fan of Portman or Blanchet, myself. Olivia Wilde or Keira Knightly, OTOH...:cool:

And I've got a weakness for the F-4 Phantom II, myself.:eek::p There's something beautiful in the sheer brutishness.;) (A bit like Ellen Barkin: the bits don't quite fit, but the package really works.;))
