How abou the Porsche 906?
I think its a great looking car, but I sense others may not be so keen. It has that kind of love it or hate it aspect.
I still exist and still find the forum occasionally. Busy busy

Ligier JS11 is also a bit love/hate. There is just something about it that I love
Many of Gerard Ducarouge's cars had a purposeful ellagance about them.Last edited by anfield5; 2nd September 2014 at 00:48.

Another one of my favorites: the Chaparral 2D which won the 1966 1000km Nürburgring driven by Phil Hill and Jo Bonnier. It was an unusually elegant design from a company which produced some of the ugliest (albeit most innovative) race cars in history (the 2J "fan car" comes to mind…).
Phil Hill - 1961
Mario Andretti -1978

Which is why I can't pin it w/just one design; the Williams FW07 in qualifying trim looks badass too. With an upgrade of #27 slapped on it - even before delegation to Villeneuve/Ferrari.
Oddly enough, my two favorite helmet designs co-relate with their respective cars.

My vote goes to the Porsche 917L in 1970 Le Mans spec, a bit of a beast but very fast, took the pole at Le Mans in 1970. As the 917 developed it sprouted a splitter and meaningful downforce and as a result became less of a looker, even if it did become more manageable to drive.
It's OK, it's a short stage! Remember the FIA and promoter reserve the right to completely fuck over everything we all know, enjoy and understand about this series and sport. Or, maybe they might...
