Should make numbers on the body mandatory

Nah. That can remain a NASCAR thing.

It used to be a thing in Supercars until 2008ish as well... just less intrusive. Imo it's what made the numbers more relatable to the drivers and therefore more iconic. I'd love to see them return.

Well small, number plate sized is fine. I'm talking huge numbers like NASCAR.

Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. With the addition of the LED panels, it looks like the number stickers have gotten smaller? Think it would improve the aesthetics of the cars massively.

 

[ScottPuss20]

Having numbers on the door would make it easier to know who's who...

 

[05XR8]

It also makes the styled team/driver numbers unique. I like Moto GP numbers. And tyhey have NO space.

 

[Spacegoat]

Have to admit that I'm struggling to like this. Maybe it's just the render and it'll look better on track. (Hopefully ).

Good to see a bunch of sponsors on board though.

I saw that thing and thought, "I'll let Spacegoat post it.".

For Mostert, it's just not his character.

Scott Pye's looks cool.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Woah, Pye’s car looks fantastic! Best livery by far imo.

Mostert’s is a bit nothing fortunately, has no identity. Happy to see NAPA stay on board after the wildcard last year.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Why does Chaz always get cursed with bad colour coordination.

 

[Andrew R]

Pye's looks like a BJR livery which isn't a bad thing. Mostert's just looks awful.

 

[Spacegoat]

Scott Pye's looks cool.

Doesn't it what. Easily the best so far.

Why does Chaz always get cursed with bad colour coordination.

Starting to assume that's in his contract. "Livery needs to have at least four different colours, none of which go together."

Until race day when the black wheels disappear.

I normally really like the Erubus liveries but to me this just looks err umm... to use my wifes term... messy.

 

[05XR8]

Yeah, they floated about after the E63s. The gold and black livery ZB, was fantastic.

Needs more red.

Not really doing much for me either. The black grille is an improvement over the last couple of seasons though.

Needs more red.

Think it's the light blue on the sides that spoils it. It would almost have a retro Mobil livery look without it.

 

[Spacegoat]

This feels like something that could have been run in retro round. It's okay but I think last years livery was miles better.

Yep, I agree on both points 👍. I wonder why they don't show it's good side.

 

[05XR8]

A full "Boss" side stripes would have been better.

I wasn't a fan of last year's livery because the white stripe on the rear quarter panel really highlighted the huge space above the rear tires. Was really out of place.

There are too many cars on the grid with complicated liveries. Seeing something soo simple is refreshing IMO.

Yeah for me the more simple and plain it is the more I like it.
Quite liking the Milwaukee one, and its always a bonus when they dont try and put anything on the front grille too.

Bit of a surprise. Fully expected him to continue with JC over at Tekno. Interesting to see how their and WAU co-driver lineups shape up now.

Rumor going around that Premat will be joining Tickford as well.

 

[05XR8]

I forgot who are at Tickford besides Waters and Davison.

Without comparing it. More or less the same as the livery used for most of last season? I honestly don't mind it. Probably one of the better Supercheap schemes in recent years.

 

[LumpiestFish]

Man, Le Brocq’s car looks pretty awful imo. It’s last year’s updated scheme but without any of the yellow detailing. Now it just looks like blocks of different colours without any actual design to it.

 

[FPV MIC]

@Pete05 More solid journalism from the guys at SC.

In the end, the car came from 10th on the grid to finish just shy of the podium in third.

That should've been 'in fourth' then SC... or just shy of the podium. /end

But seriously, it's great to see this car fully restored 👍

Is that chrome red, red chrome? Needs matte black wheels.
