Worst Liveries Of All Time

1:12, if you're interested. I'm worried how easily the rear end caved in...

There isn't much you can do with no sponsorship. Once in a while you can make it work, ala Brawn, but often it's difficult.

I don't think that you're supposed to put anything but white on a car if there is no sponsorship. It tells potential sponsors that your car is available to sponsor.

it is possible to variate.

Arrows went for an all-black look with its few sponsors in a contrasting white with the A19.

And as we know, Hispania went for something more obvious.

It'd be a good livery if the Abu Dhabi part was in a box like the Castrol green.

 

[Dennisch]

Still better looking than many new racecars.. because 635CSi

It could be pink with yellow dots, and it still would look good.

I just realized that the HRT side pod is like available advertising space that no one took. "This could be YOU", hence they want a sponsor.

Look at the front and rear endplates, too!

Looking at the 2011 HRT livery, at first I thought it was a very nice livery. After the Australian GP, I started to realise that it looks so uninspired and generic. Those ''Your Logo, This Could Be You'' stuff just didn't made it better...

I applaud them for trying to garner some attention.

 

[Prince.M5]

Well, they were desperate for money and they tried. Perhaps they could've tried something else I think...

I believe that was the only time a TV channel was a sponsor.

Can't find a bigger image of this. Not that I'd want to.

1994 Simtek-Ford S941

This is merely a rebuttal, not an entry for worst livery

 

[Danny]

I really like most of the ones you guys posted.


Yes it was quite groundbreaking.
No it was not pretty.

Also Arrows had Cartoon Network sponsorship in the early 2000's.

Sorry can't find a pic...

I remember the Cartoon Network NASCAR car.

Probably not the best idea to have stuff written all over the windscreen..

 

[GTPorsche]

My fault. I forgot about MTV on Simtek and Cartoon Network.

 

[Liquid]

Not the worst, but unique in its own way.

Personally I really like that, I've even got a 1.18 scale diecast model of it.

But I sure do love Fig Newtons.
An Mlp sponsored Nascar would be awesome.

And I don't hate the Tic Tac BMW, it's just ok.

 

[Clark]

I only really hate this as the Scuderia Ferrari logo on the engine cover is truly awful. I prefered 2009 and before Ferrari F1 cars.

AON Ford BTCC

Interestingly, that livery is designed by Andy Blackmore. He has made some good looking liveries like Schubert Motorsport's NFS BMW Z4 but I agree the AON Ford is not in one of those 'good looking' group.

Ferrari just needs to say goodbye to Marlboro already; the rest of the paddock has moved on years ago. At least Martini is a far more enjoyable product...

While I understand that Ferrari won't just choose any old sponsor, there's got to be someone with deep pockets to sponsor the world's most famous racing team.

Ferrari with a Martini logo on the airbox. Oh lawdy...

1993 Ligier with special livery at the Japanese Grand Prix.

Just an idea...red and white are already part of Ferrari lore, and sky blue is Italy's sporting "color".

1993 Ligier with special livery at the Japanese Grand Prix.

They used it at the final Australian round as well.

 

[Liquid]

It's pretty vile. One of the worst I've seen, for sure.
