Right, let me explain, I know it's a Lotus 78 and the car never raced in yellow in the F1 World Championship.
This is Emilio de Villota's Madom F1 Team Lotus 78 that he drove in the 1979 Aurora AFX British F1 Championship and also the 1979 non-Championship Race of Champions. I think the car looks great in yellow. No disrespect to the original John Player Special version though.

If there's ever been a car that doesn't look good in Duckhams colours then I would like to hear about it.

It's a cigarette pack on wheels. It's only the associations it has that make people think it's actually a good livery.

I do actually like the Marlboro McLaren design because it's simple and unclutteted but you raise an excellent point that has been overlooked before - successful cars usually have more memorable liveries.
If the ATS D7 had won 15/16 races, it would doubtlessly be lauded as a stunning car.
If Thomas Erdõs won the 2001 BTCC, his Lexus would be remembered as a sleek looker.
It's much rarer that you get Esso Ultron Peugeot 406s or Jaguar R1s, uncompetitive cars definitely remembered as good looking. It's even rarer still that winners are remembered for being ugly.

To me, this Felicia kit car looks and has always looked awesome. Colin McRae Rally nostalgia be damned, I honestly think it looks nice. Simple and uncomplicated. The placement of the colour splashes are effective. White with green and red but it isn't Castrol.

Are there any other threads on the subject of liveries?
