    Racing car, I think McLaren is the best, and even they made the best sports car McLaren F1. Besides, they're really artists! See how cool Mercedes Benz SLR McLaren, waiting for the baby McLaren.

    A racing car company s one that concentrates on racing cars, not a car company that besides its normal run of production cars is engaged in some sort of racing programme.

    Lola could have been mentioned, or Reynard, March was one, but I think under this rather strict definition Chevron would come as number one. Unfortunately due to the death of its founder Derek Bennett in a paragliding accident in 1977, the step to F1 was just cut short and the company had to close down only a couple of years later.

    Ford,

    They have at various times pretty much dominated either directly or indirectly just about every type of racing in the world at one time or another.

    From Rallying, F1, Nascar, Le mans, Touring cars etc

    lotus were great. But Ferrari ofcourse takes this. As someone mentioned McLarens and Porsches incredible performances in Can Am are sadly forgotten now. Porsche killed an entire racing class by being too good. That indeed is impressive.

    I dont agree.

    How many rallies have Ferrari won ??

    How many touring car victories can they point to ??

    What grass roots level races do they compete in ??

    Paris Dakar ??

    Formula 3000 ??

    Nascar ??

    In fact anything other than just GT or F1 type racing ???

    Hardly a benchmark for OVERALL conquest is it !!!!
