Cars of 2007

Renault launch today, putting an end to our misery!

Pitty they have rubbish drivers, because that will be a very quick car.

here she is! The Renault R27! gorgeous, isn't she?

 

[Blake]

The aero on that car looks like it will be fantastic on track. Some really clever ideas. Again, it’s just a shame they don’t have good drivers. I guess you have to hope Kovalainen can get up and race with the best straight away, otherwise it will be a waste of a great car.

here she is! The Renault R27! gorgeous, isn't she?

That color-scheme screams: "I was chosen by committee!"

 

[MagpieRacer]

Thats a fugly mess..As blake said though, great loooking aero.

 

[Jim Prower]

the paint reminds me of a Metisse.

 

[wfooshee]

I can't wait to see the pit crew uniforms!!

 

[MagpieRacer]

Its actually growing on me now ive seen more and better pics of it.

ING RENAULT R27

The Renault is (slowly) growing on me, but at the moment I think it looks like an explosion in a paint factory.

Still, lots of F1 cars seem to look horrible when the cars are sitting in a studio, and then look wonderful once they're out on track. I guess I'll have to see the Renault movinc before I can decide.

 

[Lee]

Ohhh man I love that paint job, certainly up there with the McMerc in my books.

 

[Slick Rick]

That ING RENAULT R27 looks very odd on the sides but the front view is cool.

 

[Impreza04]

It'd look alright if they hadn't kept the Renault yellow and just had the blue & orange IMO

 

[wfooshee]

To quote Burt Reynold's character in The End, "It looks like Walt Disney threw up."

 

[Jim Prower]

Perhaps they should go to the old Nescafe BTCC paint scheme.

 

[emaNresU]

Oooo that Renault looks funky! As for the Toyota, I think they have just re-released the 2002 car... Not much difference livery wise anyway..

Having said that it's always been a good livery.

 

[Dougboy]

GTchamp, would you mind telling us where you are getting these great high-res photos?

Thanks

 

[Philly]

Yellow, Blue, white, orange, black... Did I miss any? Might as well pain it in repeating rainbows. That car has a bit too much going on. At least pick sponsors that can agree on you color. (The McLaren has similar issues, but did a bit better.) The renaults have always had cool shapes and minus the paint, this is no exception. With this, I think Kovalinnen will have a decent year.

 

[Kylehnat]

Too many different colors . Get rid of either the blue or the yellow, and it'd look great. Beautiful lines as always, though 👍.

 

[Omnis]

That Renault is damn beautiful. Best paintjob of the century.

 

[DQuaN]

Honda RA107.

I'm sure someone will post better pics soon.

 

[nosturbo]

Is that it?? (Ok, that was probably an obvious question)

Well, if that is it, thats one sweet lookin machine.

 

[MagpieRacer]

Thats the car, not the livery.

 

[nosturbo]

Yeah, that was a pretty stupid question.... Although, it looks nice either way, can't wait to see it with the livery.

 

[Appie]

The Honda car always looks good

 

[zoxxy]

Wow, I love that ****ING Renault!

I reckon that F1's dead rubbish nowadays. This is what F1 should be like...

See, I think that's better looking than a lot of modern F1 cars. Back then (1967 was my favorite season) there was none of this traction control rubbish and there was tons of skill involved. Back in the day, these gorgeous beasts would be sliding around all over the place (Jimmy Clark could hold a perfect drift around some corners) and there would be noise and fumes, sights and smells. Heck, they even filled them up with fuel through a metal funnel from a tank. The modern F1 cars are just... kind of boring to watch. They drive like they're on rails and there are rarely crashes and spins. It just isn't as exciting as in '67. Oh, sure, there is glamour in modern F1, but of the wrong type. Back then it was glamour glamour, but today it's the kind of glamour you'd find in rubbish mags like OK! and Heat.

I just wish I was 12 in 1967 rather than 2007.

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion and that was mine... 👍

Those things were also deathtraps that sacrificed safety for speed. perhaps if they were a little sturdier, then I'd agree with you.

 

[EJRocky]

Yes, but that's what makes it so attractive (apart from the gorgeous cars, proper glamour etc.)! The danger! The speed! The excitement! Repeat that part ten times...
