I like the Minolta livery a lot.

The 88C-V pulled that off pretty well, but I'm not really a fan of the other two.
 
Most itashas look tacked on, but the GoodSmile Racing 2014 livery looked absolutely exquisite.

But I will always have a soft spot for Ricky Stenhouse Jr.'s 2012 Bank of America 500 scheme.

Not only is this a good looking car, it is an iconic paint scheme. (#8 if you're wondering :P )

That is an epic livery. :drool:

hsv
That isn't a 12C GT3. And all of those just look like they ran out of ideas and pasted the classic Marlboro scheme on slp-dash. At least try shaping it or updating it.
You're right that isn't a GT3...because that was the GT1 concept rendering from a few years ago.

And you guys are nuts....that Marlboro livery works on everything! :drool:

For me, it only really works on these two cars:

It just doesn't seem to translate all that well on other McLarens (let alone any other car).. For me, it works on the flat surface of Hunt's car and the black part on the nose of Senna's car helps break up the boringness, of course the fact that they're two iconic cars and drivers helps, but the Marlboro logo and shape itself, looks about as boring as a Beechdean livery.

But the Beechdean livery is awesome. :(
 
What about this? I think it looks pretty good on the Lancer...

I think it works to a certain extent on the Evo VI, and i do quite like it on that (so i stand corrected to a degree), but it just doesn't come close to the awesome Evo V livery (imo). 👍

I really don't like the first one, but the second one looks better, thanks to the black breaking it up a bit. I still don't think it suits the car though. The 'STP' livery on the other hand.... :drool:
 
I agree, there are very few cars that it looks good on but when it does I think it looks great.

Edit: Forgot to say how much I love the STP livery. It rocks.
 
I really enjoyed the Mild Seven Livery.

Also enjoyed this one. Simple and elegant. Anyone can splash on colours to make a car look striking when it's up close and stationary, but to look good while it's racing is an art.

That Mild Seven livery is a favorite of mine, just works so well on that Renault F1 car. 👍
 
...Moving on, this has to be one of my favourites of all time. Finally got a good picture of it.
