What livery is the coolest/not so cool?

[Thorst13]

All of those GTR's that have raced in different colors and decals, which one is the most awesome for you guys!?

It's a hard nut to crack as the Mc looks great all the time, but surely some kind of favourite should be in the back of your mind!
And there is always that one Mc that did not look as cool as it should!


Coolest:long tail Loctite #41 is just awesome!


Not:long tail EMI #40 is probably the "weakest" look!

It's tough to choose my favorite as there are so many that are really great. I'll have to think about that one.

My least favorite is very easy though - the AM Racing "Veuve Cliquot" livery used for the British GT Series was nothing more than a Papaya Orange longtail GTR with hardly any sponsor decals. Boring...

I look forward to seeing the results on this!

I think my favourite is probably the 96 Gulf or GTR car, although I'm found of my San Miguel and Lark designs as well

I must say I like the original Ueno Clinic black paintjob GTR that won LeMans. It just looks so bad ass.

i hardly decided.......

coolest : definatly the LARK mclaren's , no matter if one of the '96 (#13R , #14R) or '97 gtr's (#19R , #27R) , the '96 GULF gtr's (#12R , #15R) and bscher's loctite (#22R).......

uncool : as mentioned before , the EMKA(#24R) and #05R's pink le mans livery it wore in '96....just ugly

^_^

cool, Ueno looks better in the flesh than in pics. The customer wanted those colours, which did limit the design a little.

I did the following:-
1995 West, West FM, Ueno, Gulf, San Miguel, Frank Muller (was that 95 or 96)
1996 Lark, Lanzante Blue/Yellow, pre season Gulf, West (both versions), Gulf, Marlboro, 96GTR, BMW central flag graphic detailing on Fina cars

the Ueno looks the best i reckon, although the Lark and that #05R dragon thing were quite cool as well. On the longtail's i reckon that blue thing with the weapon on it look very good, i don't know the name anymore, it was raced before the british grand prix though.

at least to me anywise

second from below is wicked

[andybee]

third from bottom looks awesome in the flesh.

Don't know if you guys know of Radical, who produce track day cars, but a couple of months after the 96 GTR was shown, there car sported a near identical livery in red with yellow wheels and a great big R draped over the car just like the 96 GTR - bit naughty

[Peloton25]

I'm familiar with Radical. This isn't the greatest image, but here's the car you are referring to:



I've narrowed down my favorite GTR liveries:

#1: Gulf '96 - if I were lucky enough to own a GTR this is the livery it would wear. The other Gulf liveries were also nice, but the '96 looks the sharpest in my opinion.



#2: Another of my favorites is the short tailed Davidoff livery. There was a long tail that looked identical, but I prefer the short tailed GTRs. I've only seen one or two "real" photos of the GTR that wore this livery (I think for a single race) and they weren't worth sharing, so we'll have to go with a shot of the 1/43rd scale Minichamps.



#3: My final favorite for short tails is the '96 FINA #39 car with the USA flags draped over the c-pillar. Call me patriotic, but I think it looks really sweet. The #38 car looks just as good, but I'm not from Great Britain or France so....




#4: On the long tails, there isn't much to this particular one, but I really like the look of the JGTC "Zero" livery:




Also Andy - Frank Muller was a '96 livery. The car was originally white and then later painted the more common orange and black. There were also two versions of the orange and black look. I don't have any photos of one of the versions, but did see it clearly in a video that showed McLaren's racing on a track.
