Worst Liveries Of All Time

[Wilbur]

It's an interesting idea but failed follow through for me. There is a great video with Ken Block talking about liveries in general but his 2014 makes me wonder ALOT. This one looks rushed to me but last years liveries really were amazing and to be honest I thought something off the Raptor would have been the theme.

It's meant to be inspired by 8-bit graphics, but it is perhaps a little finely detailed for the concept to work.

Needs more gray.

GAH!!

Nothing says ARCA like a paint scheme consisting of single color filled panels and duct tape numbers

Has this one come up yet?

Hang on, where's it say that?

I'm the opposite - the orange and green give me a headache, since I am red-green colour-blind.

Yeah, remember you mentioning that in the V8 thread back when GRM added GoDaddy sponsorship to their Commodore for James Hinchcliffe for the Gold Coast event a couple of years back. Personally I find the Blue/White Aspen scheme to be very plain and boring in comparison to Dancia's regular GoDaddy livery.

It's from Rush.

Haha, I thought it was AUP or something, d'oh

Not even duct tape. Just poor painting templates for the numbers. It looks like it was done in the NR2002/NR2003 paint shop.

this was posted on the "greatest liveries" thread, but i think this fits here more

Colors like the Gulf livery, which I really like, but there's just something about the layout on this one that is funky and unfit for trying to create a sense of speed.

And if you're wondering, "AYO..AYO..AYOO..!!!", translated to English is, "COME ON..COME ON..COME OON!!!"

Sponsored by an adult diaper brand!?

The midget racer actually works surprisingly well painted like a giant donut.

One more

Envision a tree wrapped around it, and the livery is complete.

Congratulations Citroen for sticking some white bits and stickers on primer...

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I don't think it's that bad. The original design had a much lighter shade of turquoise, which looked horrible.

I like it but then again I usually enjoy primer

ARCA is just a cesspool of poorly done (ergo Worst) liveries

Lotus produced a car for 1995 by the way. I was never a fan of the white/yellow/black Loctite liveries, so I'm glad this one never made it to the track.

I actually like this one, works good with the goodyear tyres + early 90's F1's had beautiful (pure) bodyshapes IMO.

And a last one, which was overkill mr Lammers...

Actually its not half bad compared to this

The dutch have a weird taste in style and colors in general

Only in America...

Isn't ARCA three steps down from Cup cars? Nothing much has changed, many were old Busch/Winston Cup castoffs, even thirty years ago.

That one is just a cast-off of a Ken Schrader ARCA car.

Question: what is the last thing that Force India's black, white, orange, green and red livery needs?

Answer: light blue!

Force India have done a deal with GP2 and GP3 team Hilmer Motorsport to create a pathway from the junior leagues to Formula 1. But many of the drivers bring their own backers to the team as well. Sometimes this looks really good, as evidenced by the Comma and Azerbaijan DAMS cars.

Sometimes, though, it falls flat on its face. This is Hilmer's Argentine recruit Facu Regalia, who is racing with the support of YPF:

His team mate, Daniel Abt, has a marginally more tolerable livery, with dull yellow in the place of that unnatural blue.

Still, it could be worse. They could have the name "Cecotto Jnr." on the side of the car ...

@prisonermonkeys That blue is truly awful.

@prisonermonkeys That blue is truly awful.

It wouldn't actually be that bad if it was used properly. After all, the Volvo S60 V8 Supercars look absolutely amazing. The problem is that there is already a hell of a lot going on in that livery: it's black with white, orange and green highlights, and that's what the blue clashes with. If the orange and green were blue instead, it would look a lot better.
