50 Greatest liveries of all time.

[lmanion]

Williams is exactly what I was hoping they would really go for with the lighter blue, don't like the navy so much

 

[tankuroded]

Yes, but HP and Compaq are the same company. Perhaps they were trying to promote the HP side of the company rather than Compaq.

Because HP purchased Compaq in 2002, HP phased out the Compaq brand that yeat. The phasing out occured slowly.

Compaq was actually still around until 2010.

 

[That90sGuy]

Simple, yet I love it because it reminds me of my favourite resturant

 

[Watt2159]

One of the most iconic in my oppinion

 

[Bopop4]

Meh, it's not bad. Just more iconic than great.
Like this, I don't actually like it a whole lot but it is very symbolic.

Oh, and I think that this scheme is great. (Even if I don't like who's driving it.)

I can't find a bigger picture of this livery.

 

[Liquid]

Sssssssssssssssid.

 

[Bopop4]

That's pretty badass. What type of car is it?

 

[Liquid]

Jordan 197.

After hissing Sid, they used buzzing hornets for a number of years.

Jordan 199

And then a shark.

Jordan EJ11 (2001)

 

[Bopop4]

Nice, I didn't think that that was an F1 car.

 

[Strittan]

Those were the days when F1 cars still looked cool. I personally like the Benetton and Williams from the mid - late 90's.

 

[Liquid]

That EJ11 is from 2001, the last F1 season where I really liked the shapes of the cars.

 

[JohneyPixel]

I love when they made Be on edge out of it due to tobacco advertising ban

 

[Liquid]

They've done some bad things, but the tobacco industry has given us some great motorsport liveries over the years. Marlboro (Ferrari, McLaren, Penske), John Player Special (Lotus), Winfield (Williams, Nissan), Mild Seven (Benetton, Tyrrell), 555 (Subaru, BAR), Lucky Strike (BAR), Rothmans (Williams, Porsche), Camel (Williams), West (McLaren), Benson & Hedges (Jordan), Gauloises (Ligier, Prost).

I don't smoke. I'm just sayin'.

 

[Smart_Roadster]

I personally believe some of GT2's racing mod liveries were fantastic! Anyway, I like Repsol livery used on the Honda CBR50. Oh, and who could forget the BMW Art Cars?

 

[Bopop4]

CBR50? That scheme looks like the NSR500/RC211V/RC212V one.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Really liked the 2002 Jordans as well:

And the 2001 Benetton (Oddly hard to find a good pic of.)

Rothmans. Porsche. That's it. That's all.

I don't know as much about bikes as cars, I just googled 'honda repsol motorbike' and on that image, it said CBR50 in the description.

 

[peter_vod69]

Simple, yet I love it because it reminds me of my favourite resturant

Restaurant? RESTAURANT?

It's a horrible theme-rubbish franchisetacular crapshack. Go to any decent pub and you'll get a far, far better meal than the gimmicky crap they slop up at Outback Steakhouse.

Back on topic, Castrol had some real winners:

Ah, the design is based off of the MotoGP livery that they ran.
Holy jesus I love that Supra.

 

[GasolineJunkie]

I really like these. The contrasts complement each other perfectly too.

Lexus LFA Nurburgring 24h Racer​

This will probably always be my favorite. It might be partially because I love that car, but this livery is the first thing that came to mind when opening this thread.

One that I never liked at first but am now liking is the Chrome AMG Mercedes DTM. It sets itself apart from every other car on the track.

 

[Earth]

Another top speed car with a similar livery

 

[Liquid]

That Oldsmobile looks like it is squinting in uncertainty.

 

[Sam48]

That it does

 

[TopGearFTW]

I had never seen that top Castrol livery before. I knew the Supra and NSX ones for obvious reasons, but that top one is really nice.

For underlined part: Not everyone has access to pub(s)...

And you forget this:

 

[peter_vod69]

Why no access to pubs?

 

[Carlos]

Jordan 199

Jordan EJ11 (2001)

One of the nicest liveries F1 has seen! 👍

I really liked this one:

^2003

Not sure if this one is posted before but let's not forget the Jag!

^2003

^2004

Oooohh Never seen this car before. I like!

Hope not a repost:
