THERE AREN’T MANY BETTER summer sporting spectacles to enjoy than a world cup, and with football not providing one this year, Autosport decided to fill the void with a world cup of our own, to find exactly out what Formula 1 fans consider their favourite car of all time.
We came up with a shortlist of cars, and threw the top 32 into a pot to draw eight groups to kick the tournament off.
The original list, compiled from votes cast by members of Autosport staff, our Autosport Academy for budding motorsport journalists, and social media responses, was not that short. In total 148 cars were nominated, from dominant world-title winners to utter no-hopers from Life, Fond metal, Simtek and Andrea Moda: a reminder of the difference between asking people to nominate the ‘best’ F1 cars and their ‘favourite’ cars. Our focus was on the latter.
The draw was random and, unlike in football’s world cup, only the group winners progressed to the next stage.
