michael t Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 something a little different on here, shite grand prix cars in other words cars which either look shite or never scored points or cars from teams or drivers you just hated. 1996 forti corse never scored a point and retired from most of the races it entered a mobile chicane as murray walker called it 2010 hispania hasnt scored a point so far this season and would need an absolute miracle to get it to, its also exactly the same car as was used at the first race of the season in bahrain. so any one else got any shite f1 entries Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Lobster Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Shiteist must be this though - Mastercard Lola F1 Team. Turned up to the first race in Australia, car was incredibly slow and failed to qualify. And that was that. Didn't bother with the rest of the season.

mnde Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I present the Coloni C3B Powered by a Subaru Flat-12, coupled with a Minardi gearbox. In the hands of the unfortunate Bertrand Gachot, it failed to qualify for any of the races in 1990. Even after swapping to Cosworth power for the German Grand Prix. Mark. EDIT: Trying a different image because the original didn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiny Norman Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 In 1991, the Coloni Ford team entered every one of the 15 races that season but failed to even qualify once. They were so unimpressively shite it's hard to find a decent picture online, but I think this one sums up their year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Liberator Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The most shite (in a good way) must be Connew. Built in a rented lock-up in Chadwell Heath by a draughtsman, a shopfitter and a woodwork teacher. http://62.149.36.46/~bruce/cgi-bin/story1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were so unimpressively shite it's hard to find a decent picture online, but I think this one sums up their year. That was on the starting grid before the cars had even moved.

barrett Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I can't tell the difference between any of the cars except the Connew.I was going to suggest the 1948 CTS-Arsenal, but it's so shit I can't even find an image or any information about it online Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brammy777 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The Lotus 80, which was a mega faliure compared to the 79, its because of the colour I bet you.And the Arrows A2 which was just mad looking. Like a turtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jazzy Jeff Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Andrea Moda wins hands down. The most hopeless effort Formula 1 has ever witness. Probably the most hopeless effort motorsport has a whole has ever seen. Although I give Larrousse credit where credit is due. Not one but two murderers ended up in charge of the team at different intervals. http://www.grandprix.com/ft/ft00336.html Formula 1 has never reached it's early nineties heyday of shitness ever again. And probably never will unless I become a billionaire and start a New-Andrea Moda team from scratch with Jean-Denis Deletraz and Taki Inoue as drivers.

pogweasel Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Can there be some kind of special prize for the Hesketh team, whose race 'strategy' appeared to revolve around getting pissed up alot, and crashing expensive racing cars (not always in that order). More bonkers rich people doing it for shits & giggles pls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brammy777 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 And Hesketh were a force to be reckoned with when they had James Hunt driving. Obviously because they suited each other down to the ground, a perfect match. I also admire Wolf racing for doing what Brawn racing did last year (to a somewhat lesser extent) and winning a few races in their first* season. Then diminishing further and further after that. See also Fittipaldi Racing. *I think they ran cars with Frank Williams before that, but not as Wolf racing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael t Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 wow thanks for the responses ye frank williams had a pop at a lesser succesful williams team before he joined up with patrick head in 78 ish*EDIT* yep according to wikipedia "in 1976 Williams desperately took on a partner, oil magnate Walter Wolf. Though the team continued functioning, it no longer belonged to Frank Williams, so he left in 1977 along with one of his old employees, engineer Patrick Head."

seth Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 S'funny. My thoughts were of Hesketh too. Six wheeler Tyrrell was actually pretty good when the tyres were sorted. I think new ones might be in order now though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brammy777 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Heres some good old F1 photos, from the more interesting teams.The Brabham fan car was ridiculous... it could have been a massive thing but of course every other team complained.Amazing!

brammy777 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 Also if you want F1 flops, no one can forget BARs first season. All the bragging from them, insisting they would be the ultimate F1 team and it came to nothing. Fairly sure it was the only car to carry a livery which was different on each side too.

warren t claim Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 To be honest I haven't watched F1 since the Murray Walker/ciggie advertising days. I miss his commentary and long for another JPS Capri. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M'coli Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 The Maki's original driver has commented that the monocoque was pop-riveted together . Much as it pains me, the Aston Martin DBR4:.The Mclaren M28:The Arrows A9 - so woeful that it was slower than the car it was meant to replace:The RAM02:The Spirit 201The Rebaque HR100: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
