BMW's M3 GTR was a monster and so dominant in the American Le Mans series, it was banned

In 2001, BMW chucked a 4.0-litre V8 engine into its E46 chassis and competed in the American Le Mans Series . Not only did it dominate, but it was also subsequently banned.

Motor racing has brought some pretty impressive performance cars to the fore over the years, with rivalries formed along the way, too. Pick your poison - there's the Mazda 787B that won Japan's first Le Mans title in 1991 or the Nissan Skyline GT-R R32 that utterly dominated the Japanese Touring Car Championships.
