1986 is my year. Many good choices but for the racecar, I choose the Benetton-BMW.
For qualifying, power to weight ratios were about 2,500 hp/ton+ for the Benetton-BMW and 1,850 hp/ton for the Benetton's race trim.
The 1.5L BMW M12/13 inline 4 cyl produced up to 1,350HP.
Formula One champion was Alain Prost, his second. Though, Williams took the constructor championship.
IndyCar champion was Bobby Rahal in the March 86C powered by Cosworth. He also won the Indy 500.
NASCAR winner was Dale Earnhardt in his Childress Chevrolet.
Finally, 24 Hours of LeMans went to the Rothmans Porsche 962C team.

Yay to that engine! I basically had the same thing in my '84 318i :)

F1 cars? Pffft. Puh-leeze.
The seven litre McLaren M6A of 1967 was the greatest car to ever run in the greatly missed CanAm Racing Series. CanAm is the closest racing ever got to "anything goes", and the M6A was the best of the best.
This is the M6B, not the M6A, but the point is the same. Watch it tear up Road America, eating up the one mile start/finish straight in twenty seconds (180MPH). It would be faster if it didn't have to brake for turn one.

1958 LeMans winners Phil Hill (driving) and Olivier Gendebien (I assume...it's Hill in the driver's seat, but I've never seen Gendebien before) in the Ferrari Testa Rossa (aka TR 58 or 250TR).
That sweater on the (assumed) Gendebien is de rigueur for the well dressed race car driver of 1958 !
