The sauber C9 is a favorite of mine, but being british, i love the Jags.

Awesome cars - if you look on youtube theres several films with Jackie Stewart 'testing' various cars, williams, benettons, that sort of thing - and one of them is this jag, and he stuffs it at silverstone then trys to tell us why....its really quite funny ;D

......Peugeot did a works entry (run by that Todt bloke), there was a minnow team called W.M Peugeot (who designed "very French" looking cars - think 70/80s French styling!). It seems in 1988 they taped over every opening during the race to set 251mph! Then (unsurprisingly) the engine blew! ;D

It's so ugly, a google search brings up only one pic!

Use the search term WM P88 Peugeot ;)
BTW, it looks like it was inspired by a bug....or an LSD trip. ;D
Now here's a simply Gorgeous Peugeot:

I thought I had! I obviously didn't! ;D As I say, French styling has always been a bit hit and miss. Some are classic, some look, at best, odd.

Nice, but was never a fan of the batmobilesque rear wings of the 70s and early 80s Le Mans cars! :)
