I liked a lot of the DTM cars over the years actually. I remember a Tic Tac DTM BMW from the early 90s that always caught my eye. They've become a bit boring recently though

Nothing beats an Alfa Romeo 155, especially the ones that were red and had the Martini stripes :

Going back to an earlier era, a couple of all-time BMW classics from the 80's
Schnitzer's 'Original BMW Teile' 'skeleton' livery from 1983-6 http://www.racingsportscars.com/etcc...-07-29-001.jpg ..from Australia, the JPS Team BMW colours http://members.tripod.com/motorsport...W%20635CSI.jpg ...and 80's DTM Jagermeister BMW http://www.motorsportcollector.com/0...8446Jager.jpeg |

TicTac BMW M3 as mentioned earlier:
http://rejsa.nu/im/_garage/1597-new_...-18-race36.jpg I also liked this years WestCoastRacings Tools livery: http://www.westcoastracing.se/admin/..._race6_008.jpg And the -97 presaeson TWR S40: http://www.volvoclub.org.uk/graphics/twrs40.jpg Not really a spectacular livery but there's something special about an all black racecar. |

I think the Leon is a bit of an awkward car to style anyway - it's got a bit of a big booty that doesn't sit well with the nice front! I've always liked the livery of the works cars, although I'm not keen on the new Valeo bit. It's probably the most eye-catching of what is quite a dull grid this weekend.

I'll agree with the Sport Italia Leon - that looked great, but then most cars with Castrol backing were always good.

Fair enough Hazard, your right, and i now look stupid ofr not identifying colours! And it is an ugly livery on an incredibly ugly car.
As for the Valeo bit, it looks like they got to brazil and realised they'd still got red bull stuckers on the car, then just ot some valeo ones and stuck em somewhere. It just doesnt work with the livery. |

Ooh, the Oregon Alfa's - sure were distinctive weren't they. I found the ordinary red ones far more dull

Rather dull and ok looking than original but b*tt ugly Sometimes simplicity is resulting in pretty good liveries, take Team RAC for example.

The Red Bull car as used by Thompson in 2006 worked very well. The Respol orange looks even more out of place on the bonnet |
