I actually love that 24R still wears its EMKA/EMI livery - not that I necessarily find it more visually appealing, but it is such a great story coming 4th overall that year that it deserves to be remembered.
Plus then we'd have 4 FINA/Team BMW Motorsport liveried cars and during the 1997 season there were never more than two at a time at an event.
It would also force the resolution of the inaccurate livery on 26R (unlikely to occur) as there would be twins.
