Again, The Seven Formula One Cars That Changed Everything


 

Trying again.? I am sending the article as an attachment.? You will note a blank table? in the frame for each car.? The statistics (years in competition, etc.) did not copy to the frame but appear below the photos.

Hopefully, it works (more or less) this time.

Thank you.

?

Food for thought, and will spark quite a few heated discussions at beer time.

?

Seems to give short shrift to most drivers, and doesn't even mention dominating Cosworth DFV in passing.

Hello?
I enjoyed the article on the best ever race cars but if anyone is doing the analysis on the Cosworth, with maybe 5 years at the top, then I would be interested to see a statistical comparison with the Offy Midget - it seems like an easy formula to break into and lots of people tried, over many decades (maybe not an international formula) but it carried on winning: ?Does this qualify as the most successful race engine of all time?

Julian,
I don't know about the Offy Midget as by the time Dad was taking me to Kitley? to watch the midgets, there were a BUNCH of Chevy II's with marine heads taking their fair share of the trophies
Then somebody stuffed a VW in one and that changed everything.

Hey Julian,
Smitty here again
WHICH iteration of the Offy are you talking about.
As I remember, there were three of them at LEAST.
There was a 107 cid, that was followed by the 110 cid, and finally by the 120 cid.
Which one are we discussing here?
