There was an article about this in a autumn issue of F1 racing, gave me some good laughs 
Anyway, there is this one F1 car i remember from my childhood, can't remember which (think it is a Benetton) but it had those gay ass paint strokes on the engine cover.

... Why the multicoloured tyres? Is it part of the livery or something else?

Well it looks really silly 
I would've thought that wouldn't be allowed as the teams get given the tyres each race weekend rather than designing them themselves. I thought it might've been some weird way of differentiating between front and rears, but I don't remember seeing any archived F1 footage showing a grid full of colourfully-adorned cars >_>

Why do you keep posting GT5 in motorsport threads...?

that Lotus is IMO the best looking car out there...Aside from the McLaren which has the advantage of not having the stepped nose.Far too many colours and messy patterns:
Red completely ruins it:
Ugly car, ugly livery..again could probably do without the red:
Toyota's F1 liveries were all very lazy (their test car had a great livery though):

The painting of the Pirelli tires was very short-lived, just a few races into the '86 season.
Boo! The Benetton was a classic; okay, the 1980s were not a high-water mark for fashion, but still...F1 liveries were quite plain Jane for many years until they tried something different.

I'll agree it was different, just... too different in my taste. If there was a halfway point between that and the R18's massive dullness I'd be on with that.
I'd like this one if it had more design to it, it comes off as too "in your face", in true Jäger style I guess.

I like this one as well. It's not busy like a lot of liveries. They tend to be the ones I don't like.

It's just orange with a word on it! It's not horrible, just boring.

Wasn't that some kind of contest to design the car of something?

This was before the era of control tyres. I remember Paul Hembrey being quizzed about the possibilities of doing this towards the end of last season. He referred back to the Benneton as proof that it would look hideous.

F1 fanI actually don't mind the car's livery. The tyres on the other hand...
That's how I feel. *puke*

Reminds me of when I used to skateboard. I had coloured wheels almost exactly like that. Didn't look half as bad though.

'in your face'?
Whenever I drink Jägermeister it usually ends up 'in your sink' and 'in your toilet' and 'in my hair'.
