It\u2019s not inspiring. The Eifelland comes in at #6, and was never competitive. Its stalk featured a rearview mirror. The Volvo 850 Estate is #5, and was never positioned to compete seriously.<\/p>\n<p>The Shadow Mk1 AVS, #4, incorporated a weird shape and tiny wheels to try and reduce drag as much as possible. The Lola B2K\/10, #3, had a funny looking nose which house the driver\u2019s feet. It almost seems like a go-kart. The Williams FW26, #2, set one of the fasted laps in history for its class. The Tyrell P34 F1 takes the #1 spot. It featured two tiny sets of front tires in the hopes of reducing drag.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Top 8 Weirdest Racing Cars In History!\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/j9dAHbbFq1s?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever wonder what the story is on the weirdest racing cars that ever took to the track?
