For those of you unfamiliar, at the beginning of widely sanctioned automobile racing and before the dawn of corporate sponsorship liveries at the end of the '60's, it was very common to see racing automobiles with colors strongly associated with that team's home nation.

The most popular examples of this are British Racing Green, Italian Rosso Corsa and Germany's Silver Arrows. You can read a full list here.

With the introduction of the Nations Cup and the Livery Editor, I'd love to see what everyone would make if they were painting national colours on modern racing cars.

Feel free to show off some of the more creative designs, too!

Interesting thread... Might come here often I guess :D

Btw Germans had two race color scheme silver and white. Before Silver Arrows came up in 1930's, white is prominent racing color used by them back in 1910-1920's. Still used until today, mostly by BMW. They stayed to use white color instead of silver in most of their race cars if you noticed.

Also don't forget the French Blue 👍 Much easier just to put Bugatti VGT with it's original color here :lol:
 
I've noticed that for Nations Cup events your driver wears a race suit in your flag's colours, so for example me with NZ it's a blue & red race suit. But the sporting colour of NZ is black, so the blue & red suit isn't quite fitting.
