I guess like the rest of the grid then.

I see no reason for singling him out. It seems you either have to love him or hate him here - shame.

Might as well play rFactor instead, at least you get to 'drive' the car.

Are there any pictures in existence with an airbox, engine cover and rear bodywork?
The March could have thing of some beauty.
But of course, as with so many F1 breakthroughs it was never developed to i'ts potential because of politics.
Think of the things we have missed out seeing

Above is one.
The rear bodywork was prohibited by the rules AFAIK.

Would have loved to have seen these cars run, as they should have been allowed to!

Like Rob Walker's if the Goodwood crash hadn't happened? Sir Stirling said in the recent documentary that he would have continued until his 50s.

Mind you, by then the Walker/Moss combo might have fallen out with the machiavellan nature of Enzo and his cohorts. Probably he would have been driving Seppi's Lotus 49.

It does look tiny,



Then again the 761, on which it was based doesn't seem to be a big car either.

IndyDonut should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Rookie here.
So my favorites are generally most of the late 80s to super early 2000s cars.
McLaren MP4/3 to MP4/8 were brilliant. Then the MP4/12 to MP4/20. Lets just say I love the way the Macas looked.
Ferrari 640, 641, 642 were beautiful, with an engine that sounded like bliss. The F1/87 was bad-ass, too.
The Ferrari F2002, nothing needs to be said. Perfect in every way.
Williams FW10, FW11/B, FW14/B, FW15C, FW16 all amazing. More modern times, the FW19 to FW25 all looked tremendous.
Lotus 97T and 98T were lovely. The 79 was, of course, a legend, as was the 88.
I really couldn't pick a favorite among those cars, all had something that made me adore them, whether a crazy turbo, or a high-revving V10, and all with an appealing design.
However, gun to my head, I pick three runners up and nominate one for my winner.
4) Ferrari 641
3) McLaren MP4/5B (sidepods are cool)
2) Williams FW15C
The winner (and wish IndyCar's new spec car looked something like this):
