CHECK OUT SOME OF THE GREATEST RACING CARS IN HISTORY

It's time to take a trip down memory lane as we take a look at some of the greatest racing cars in history.

Over the decades, racing cars have been at the forefront of technology, from engine development to aerodynamics, even evolving various materials to be lighter and stronger, not to mention the vast improvement in tyre technology too.

Ultimately, all this progress filters down into the production vehicles we find on showroom floors, making our daily lives easier and safer. Taking a look at the video below, it's amazing to see the impact that all of the time and money spent on development to make these machines go faster and handle better has had on motorsport in particular and motoring in general.

In a nod to the trailblazers who came before us, we check out some of the greatest racing cars in history and simply drool at these fantastic machines from all forms of the sport. Enjoy!
