Favorite race car livery?

Probably the only time I've seen Panasports on a trailer...

Also, where was the fuel tank in that car, because there's not even a floor in the rear

I always liked that scheme on the TR7s

So THAT'S what a lowly TR7 Coupe can look like? I never thought that I would ever say this about a Triumph TR7, but that's a pretty good looking car.

Great now I want to put Panasports on a trailer.

Here's where the fuel cell sits:

Speedhunters has two really good articles about the history and restoration of the car.

OK, got to put up one more. This is a favorite not because the scheme is extra-ordinary, but Gilmore was a smallish chain of local dealerships around my home town. Still strikes me as cool/sad that at one time a local business could afford to support a motorsports team at the highest levels.

I always thought that So Cal Speed Shop's livery was an homage to the GeeBee's:

Back to basics:

Here's one I could probably apply myself:

Simple, orange

Gulf, Martini and JPS are always eye catching classics. Out of modern liveries the Worthouse S15 twins have caught my eye:

Except that's not racing, that's Drifting, slightly different thing.

Good looking livery though!

I kinda like some of the 80's sedan racers:

If I adapt this to my Porsche 924 widebody, would people be appreciative or confused?

I still kinda want to adapt this livery to my Focus RS:

Forgot to add my runner ups:

Falken is a classic:

Calsonic Blue, I have floated the idea of repainting the SWMBO's X-Terra with it. I wonder how bad she would wound me if I went through with it... I bet it would be worth it though.

Not sure what my favorite is but this has to be up there after Jacques took the championship in 97.

It's looks good on other cars too

Porsche 917's seemed to have great livery's as well, I think that was a generally good era as there were less (no) sponsors on each car so a more uniform theme could be done.

I need a race van.

Going back to the original DTM era, I like the green and white Debis cars (190E 2.5-16 Evo II) driven by Michael Schumacher and (I think) Roland Asche.

I also like anything Layton House, just because aquamarine is such a whacked-out color for a race car!

You have one

In reply to mazdeuce:

Do Panasports come in 20s? You should do that.

Even with all its shady background I love it

Well, if we are allowing non-cars, there are a lot of pretty cool air race liveries. I always liked:

The F104 was nice also:

I have also always like the old Bardahl racers:

Still a big fan of the graphics on the Lancia Beta Montecarlo Turbo when they went racing in Group 5 before they had sponsorship

I'll play.
