50 Greatest liveries of all time.

1999 Mark Blair Vauxhall Vectra

I've always had a deep-seated love for this colour scheme for no particular reason. It's... superb.

The irony of ADR Accident Repair Centre sponsoring a car in the BTCC

It was good to see Sean Johnston's car be more than just white last season.

I bet that a handful of you guys dislike it, but I think that the Special Crocodile livery was easily one of the best liveries ever created. It's obscure, it's silly, it's something that you never thought you'd see on a race car, but it's awesome looking. This livery was used for the 2000 Audi R8 LMP, which competed in the Race of a Thousand Years. It also won.

I do believe that has already been posted in the Worst Liveries thread.

Everyone has their own opinions, I guess.

I think the Advan livery works well on a lot of different cars

 

[VXR]

It definitely does.

I was inspired to try it on the first RS4 Avant in Forza and it looked superb on it.

The first livery I did when I first got Forza was an Advan scheme on that E30.

Don't know if someone has posted it already - not going to read through 40 pages.
Mercedes 190E sponsored by Sonax
First one is from the 1992 season (Group A) - this particular car won the championship.

Second car is from the 1993 season, where they abandoned Group A in favor of Class 1, which was way more advanced.

The first one is pretty much the first car i think about when someone mentions old school DTM.

This little Time Attack MX5 is on Speedhunters right now. Thought it was sporting a pretty cool livery.

I like this version better

Hopefully it'll be a lot less plain soon.

It's far too early to consider the 2016 liveries as some of "the best" without time to settle them in.

Horrific but not helped by the team running out of money for paint towards the back and the flat front.

Is that a picture of a die-cast model on carpet?

 

[catamount39]

Finally some color on the bloody grid. 👍

Back can't be painted like the rest of the livery because of the engine heat.

This is what it looks like in action:

I still maintain that it's a reaction to seeing something colourful on the grid more than it being an instant classic. Admittedly it's a decent livery and I look forward to seeing it on the telly instead of the blilver brigade.

The lack of sponsors makes it look better. I've always thought that too many sponsors, or a misuse of sponsor decals, makes a lot of modern liveries an absolute mess.

If Ron Dennis is right, the age of the title sponsor is over. If so, we might see more and more teams running sponsor-less (or at least sponsor-lite) designs. And I like that idea. Manor, McLaren, Mercedes and Renault are practically devoid of sponsors.

Yes but there's a reason McLaren don't have sponsors any more.

Are Ferrari still technically Marlboro Scuderia Ferrari or did that finally end a year or two ago? They've been together for donkeys years and I wonder whether they'll bother to go with a new title sponsor.

They have diversified to produce road cars and establish strategic partnerships with the likes of GSK.

Technically, it ended; it's no longer a part of the team name. But I'm pretty sure Phillip Morris own all of the space on the car and sell that space to Ferrari's sponsors.

Leasing advertising space on a Formula One car? That's a novel idea.
