Love the new livery on the LG Motorsports GT2 Corvette, the car looks simply stunning.

I think it lools good also. Maybe should have done the headlight buckets in yellow to continue the flame pattern though.

Don't like the flames... The car itself looks good though.

There's a bit of a difference on a proper car like the Corvette with flames, and a Saxo with flames.

I'm a Brit (although not always proud to be!) and while not normally a fan of
flames, as I said at the start, this looks stunning.

So at this point, I'll wave one of these.

I think the flame paintjob is rather unoriginal and bland to be honest. Flames on the hood of an American sports car. Whodathunkit?!

I find the shape intriguing though. Looks quite a bit different from the P&M GT1 C6R, but Riley are a very competent shop, so I wonder what drove their design choices.

It's the exact same paint scheme as their Speed GT corvette! Boring, uninspired. Even the same sponsors.

I agree, the shape is a bit odd. Reminds me of a Trans-Am car from 2000. The front bumper looks a little NASCAR CoTish. The windshield looks huge compared to the rest of the car, and hopefully they'll do something about those awful wheels! Though I must concede, the headlights and hood area look much more tame, almost "cute" compared to the GT1 corvettes, which I think is a huge plus.

I think that they are getting some sort of support from that wheel supplier.

I hoping he wouldn't muck up the SWC car livery, and he didn't. The positive of keeping the same scheme is that everyone knows that's Lou. If he can get a podium headers will be flying off the shelves.

It is certainly an LG Motorsports car. I think those who are familiar with Lou are a lot more inclined to react favourably to the car - it looks like his cars look. A little over the top, but that's Lou. And honestly, he is LG Long Tube Pro Headers...do you think there aren't going to be flames on it? Good on Lou for still being Lou.

I have to agree with you mate, not very good. It reminds me of the Speed GT car. Lets hope this season is better than LG's last one in that other series.
