What's the best livery in sports and gt?

[minimangler]

It's been bugging me since Le Mans and the Lizard's art car about when we last saw an awesome livery.
But apart from that, there's aston's Race Alliance


and i personally like the FIA GT sara maserati, its a lovely colour in the flesh, especially at sundown;


also, this little number has really grown on me...


So what suggestions have you got?

[Speed-King]

Despite being not the most beautiful car in the world, I really like the livery of the Michael Shank Racing Riley No.6:


another beautiful car is the Dyson RS Spyder:

or the Modena Aston Martin:

[jaysalv]

no one like creations livery at lemans then ? was a bit much i think i quite like the racing for hollands football livery last year

[davyboy]

Flying Lizard's LeMans livery is leagues ahead of everything else right now.

[minimangler]

Hmm creations was...worrying, in my opinion :P

[David]

Belgian Racing Yellow is great for Belgian cars, but for USA based teams, I prefer white with blue and a little red:



Too bad they never raced it.

The Fellows Maple Leaf Special Edition, ironically, almost made it:

i was hoping for the fellows arctic white C6R at LM but guessing its against the ACO rules for 2 different liveries on the same team. Have to agree with the Dyson car and the JetAlliance AM.

Different liveries are allowed. Just look at the Gulf and Lowe's Zyteks, both were entered by Barazi Epsilon. This is Le Mans, not F1

[AMICALEMANS]

The Gulf was a Barrazi owned car ! the blue one was in fact a work car entered as a Barrazi Epsilon (french team), but all the staff of the blue car was ...english and coming from Zytek.

I'm with you on the DBR9 Number 33.
Way cool.
I also like the Johnson Controls Corvette.

Other than that, there's not much that stands out these days.
Flying Lizards is OK, but too 'bitty' for my taste...

Oh for the days of a JPS Lotus!

[cptkablamo]

I quite like the Simonsen Ferrari in the Australian GT...its about 2/3rds of the way down the page here - http://feedmesportscars.com/node/2477

I also liked last years Luc Alphand car...and I used to like the red white and black BMW M3s...

Those are my picks for GT over the last few years...

[AU N EGL]

My car is plain old yellow. But here are two guys I race against

[dj choc ice]

personally i think the nicest race colours at lemans were the flying lizard art car, that was one of the best looking car's ive ever seen in my entire life!.

the RML MG lola EX264 has always imo been one of the nicest race colour scheme's of the past few year's and i really liked the oreca saleen S7R from last year.

best looking car's then.

2006 oreca saleen S7R
2007 barazi epsilon zytek 07S2
2007 flying lizard art car porsche 911 GT3 RSR
2006 RML MG lola EX264
2005 courage competition silverstone 1000km courage C60H judd

Best livery in LMS bar the oreca saleens, i like how one is blue/red where the other is red/blue. If that makes any sense

[dj choc ice]

the sweet irony

[zac510]

'07 Pescarolos do it for me, although the Charouz Lola is up there too

I don't think the Oreca Saleens look very good. They have big, wide expanse of body area the bold primary colours don't suit.

Where did you see that ?

I thought they all had a red front end !!!

[Bramzel]

I guess I'm one of the few who absolutely doesn't like that Flying Lizards art-livery. Distinctive? Definitely. But in my opinion also ugly and very un-racecar. I'll take the normal Flying Lizards livery over it any day.

[The Badger]

Yes Bramzel ..... i agree with you about the livery .

I like the T-Shirt based on the new livery way more than the livery.


I'm also kind of font of the Falken Skyline and the classic black-red Advan (especially on a prototype) liveries.

[FLGTFAN]

I think the Creation livery is nearly brilliant. If only they could leave the "children" off (except for Le Mans), and retain the deep blue paint w/stars and moons. Now that would be "best". Hey guys (& gals), it's not too late...

[Kai]

I'd have to say both Oreca's '06 and '07 livery are awesome. I like the #13 Courage Competition LC70's scheme a lot too as well as Swiss Spirit's LC70 Judd. It may be a little simple but I personally love the Arena Zytek and of course the Barazi car is brilliant in the Gulf livery. Not to add another praise but the Lizard's art car... you know what I'm gonna say. JetAlliance is perhaps my favorite DBR9 but the Le Mans livery BMS car has grown on me. I also like that silver yellow black DBRS9 from British GT (forgive me I have no knowledge of British GT, perhaps someone can fill me in). The Siekel 997 looks great as well as the IMSA-Matmut car.

Creation's livery is horrible IMO, ruins what could be a very nice looking car. Though I don't think you could get any worse the the Krohn/Risi F430...

This is the DBRS9 I'm talking about, looks nice. I've come to grown tired of green DB9R9's as I have yellow Corvettes and Red Ferraris. Traditional colors they may be but it all gets a little boring, at least in my opinion.

[Tim the Grey]

They are both in the same livery, but it changes from side to side!
Oh, they both have BLUE at the front, red at the back.

Methinks mini me didn't notice they were pointing in different directions.

[Satorian]

I think the Oreca paint is horribly boring.


I liked the Zakspeed 2006 pre/early-season paint, with the thin blue double-sided concave on the hood, much more appealing.





But then again the S7 would be much more appealing if the rear looked more like the McLaren F1 short-tail, not like this elephantine ass. The designer probably likes big-bottomed girls.
