Nice to see mobil1 on the bonnet, just the way it should be!👍
 
It's nice to see them do something a little different - it's very NASCAR - but the helmet-and-lion is just too big.
 
My questions is, what's with all the fog machines? :lol:
 
And the lens flares. I'm assuming JJ Abrams had something to do with it.
 
Yeah, I think black wheels would look much better. I've never really been a fan of brightly coloured wheels. Aside from that, I really like this livery. 👍
 
Does anybody else find it funny that Tander's car has to word "tool" written so prominently on it?

although front quarter panel is a bit empty.

That's my only real problem with it, would have thought they would have stuck Mobil or something in there just to fill that gap. (Scratch that just noticed the "Think Holden" in the other pics) The Red wheels are okay.(Black would have been much better) Other than that though I think they nailed it, going to look great sitting on the grid.

Edit: Erebus cars to be unveiled on Friday.

HRT liveries just recycle the stame stuff over and over. It doesn't make them look bad, but they kind of are what you expect. The red wheels make sense, they are Team Red..........
 
^^ Quick edit there on the Volvo question, you must have found your answer while I was looking for it. :p

Thursday morning there so not long now. :)

Yep. 👍 FPR and Triple 8 tomorrow as well.

Edit: Jason Bright's car in the flesh. Looks like the Blue headlights didn't carry over from the render R1600 posted a few days ago. Still looks great though.

I like the HRT HOT WHEELS/Matchbox look. Surrrrrrrre would look alright in GT6/7.

About the Erebus livery. Just imagine "Thor"(the name Betty gave to the matte black E63 my avatar) with those bright graphics. Can't wait.

Im going to miss the test day and TGF. BUT, just bought my AGP tickets. I'm good.

Too bad the FPR cars arent Coca-Cola. Pepsi is boring since Murphy left.

Got my AGP tickets too!
Can't wait, new F1 cars and V8's along with a different format.

Liveries for Jd, Norton and HRT don't do it for me but credit to sp tools for letting HRT not run a blue car.
 
I really like the HRT look but black wheels do look much nicer on it. Excited about the Volvo launch.

Do we know what time this launch is? I figure it's around 6:40am there now.
 
It's 5:08am here in Melbourne. 👍

i'd say, around 10am

I actually dig the wheels on HRT (I have a huge soft spot for red wheels for some odd reason) but it's not their best work.

I'm torn on Scotty's ride, while I like the colors; I don't like how cheap it looks. It looks like they couldn't design and stuck Valvoline randomly on the side. If anything they should have used some sort of fade from the Volvo blue to color they are using on it now with little different decals.

Now that we have proper pictures of it, there is a much more subtle detail to it that was not apparent in the image McLaughlin Tweeted.
 
I think the Volvos look pretty good, better than the Mercs or Nissans.👍 Looking forward now to hear what they sound like.
 
I wonder if McLaughlin's car will also have a Swedish flag on the roof, or if they will use the New Zealand one.

And I see that the rival Triple 8 and FPR launches have been billed as the two teams battling each other for media coverage - but if they are not gold, silver or bronze, then the media aren't going to care.
