I was doing some GISing for a new windows desktop, and was looking for some of the "best", "coolest", and "most famous" racecars. Add yours to the list, and why they count!

Jim Clark's 1967 Lotus 49 - Went a lap down at Monza due to a puncture, but was able to come back from 16th to take the lead on the last lap, only to run out of gas and coast to a 3rd place finish. Considered perhaps the greatest drive in the history of F1 by perhaps the greatest driver in F1.

1966 Ford GT-40's - After Ford failed to buy Ferrari in the early 60's, Henry Ford II decided to beat Ferrari at Le Mans, and did it w/ his new GT-40 cars, taking 1-2-3 at the '66 24 race.

Porsche 917 - Won the 1970 Le Mans race, and catipulted Porsche from being an underdog to the premier sports car builder of the next 30+ years.
