I like it, but they need to get rid of the lipstick around the mouth.

IMO, every car that sports the gulf livery looks great.

Looks like there will be two gulf sponsered cars this year then, and LMP2 Zytek (Trading Performance) and Aston!

Yay!

[Osella]

Make that three, assuming the Zytek deal takes place... Aston have two cars (007 and 009 again) both running in Gulf colours :up:

[Scuderia ferrari]

Oh yeah, good point Osella.

Well, i hope the Zytek deal does take place, but i'm not sure. It said on mariantic that they would have Gulf sponser, but now that's disseapeared as the team annouced they would compete.

I don't particularly like it but I guess it will take some getting used to this year.

[Scuderia ferrari]

Yeah, it's not everyone's cup of tea. My freind doesn't like the livery either.

I like it butt lose the red around the radiator intake

[Rover V8]

I don't mind the band around the radiator intake too much- the orange centre stripe used to spread out around the nose on some of the Gulf GT40s and 917s anyway....

....and the use of a different colours around the radiator intake to distinguish between the individual team cars is a throwback to the 50's Aston LM entries

that is hot!

[BoilerIMS]

After seeing the "classic Gulf" livery, I thought an alternative might look better:

Keep British Racing Green as the "base" color
Wide Gulf Orange stripe down the center
"not excessively wide" Gulf Blue stripes beside the orange.
Gulf Logo on the bonnet and elsewhere

[Sleeper]

I wouldnt mind someone running the dark blue and orange colours that GTC ran in 96 on their McLaren.
