Re: OK so what's the worst GTR livery.

I was never a fan of 24R in the red and yellow EMI livery. A little too Ronald McDonald. The blue and white EMI didn't look much better, but I think that was more of a fault in the graphics shape and location, not color. 5R in the pink and 2R in the blue and yellow didn't look so great either imo.

Re: OK so what's the worst GTR livery.

#05R in the pink at both times of it's career was not attractive, I don't think. First as the "Phillipe Charriol Watches" livery in black/pink and later in what I call the "Italjet" livery in fuscia/black. Please note, I'm not admitting I can identify the color "fuscia".

Also, and this will sound odd to some, I never liked the AM Racing livery on #27R - Papaya paint and a few stickers is not a livery in my book. I don't mind the look of the car at all, but for racing purposes I think they could have done something to spice it up with more graphics or a contrasting paint color.

The 'Davidoff / Day Off' is not so nice, duuno why, maybe its cause i have never been a fan of the longtails.

I'll get hammered for saying it here ... but ... gulp ... here goes ... Ueno Clinic car ... I detest black cars. Don't show off the beauty of the car's lines well IMHO.

Well your'e not alone there, some cars suit black but I don't think the F1 is one of them.
This is why the Franck Muller livery does not thrill me, to much black below the waist line.

No disagreement here. That's not a livery - it looks like exactly what it was - an unpainted test car with some reflective stickers put on at the last minute.
