Thanks!

The pics of the new Porsche GT3 is very good. I love the modification of the Porsche factory livery from red to green. Its like they pay attention to GTD since they run green numbers. Whereas GTLM is red :-)

Hope somebody races with that livery when the car gets on track.

That is your opinion. The pink is horrendous and the cigarette-livery looks very cheap.

Akrapovic · 2 Jun 2018, 17:45 (Ref:3826274)

Nah, they're awesome.

**Aysedasi** · 2 Jun 2018, 20:04 (Ref:3826302)

It's only right that there is one person that doesn't think these liveries are marvelous..... It's a bit like 'Where's Wally?'

Pink Pig is stunning. Is cigarette branding banned? I think they should allow, and the population should just be smart enough to realize that smoking brings untimely death...

It is and I wonder if reviving a cigarette sponsorship does go well for a brand like Porsche.

**Aysedasi** · 3 Jun 2018, 14:39 (Ref:3826521)

As a one-off for Le Mans, I can't see it doing any damage whatsoever. After all, it's only a representation of the original livery.

S griffin · 3 Jun 2018, 14:42 (Ref:3826522)

I don’t think people think of the tobacco, only the livery

Also now days in most markets all fag packets look the same, so the old colour schemes are not so effective

Akrapovic · 3 Jun 2018, 14:50 (Ref:3826526)

Doesn't have Rothmans on it, and there's no way they'll have actually paid for it.

It's not sponsorship. It's a tribute to one of the greatest Le Mans cars in history, on the birthday of the Porsche brand. An attempt to read any more into it than that is simply looking for something to complain about.

5 more screaming RSRs in the pipeline.

I prefer the traditional factory livery myself too. Porsche got it right with the new factory livery last year. The version they had from 2013-2016 was bad. However the new white/red/black Porsche logo shape is wonderful. I liked the green touch for the GT3 too. The colors is appropriate red is for the GTD, and green is for the GT3. Just like how IMSA separates GTLM and GTD.

Oh I agree. Look at IMSA. The one race with no GTLM included gets watched and talked about by nobody. Blancpain Endurance Series is probably the best its ever been this year. Granted the sprint series has fallen some, but that has been made up for by a strong ADAC GT Masters.

And of course the ACO/WEC wants to use this popularity to create a quasi-GT based replacement for LMP1 now.

Some of this is because of the awesomeness that is the Porsche 911 RSR. Anybody go to youtube and watch the in car camera videos that last hours long? You can ago to sleep with that. I liked the Ford GT sound too until they brought in that stupid buzz noise. But it looks like at Spa the Ford did not have the buzz.

I guess it's all a matter of taste and preference. I would much prefer different liveried cars, both for identification purposes and simple variety. Having said that, I got very close views of them last year at scrutineering at LM and they did look gorgeous.....

GT6 · 5 Jun 2018, 17:01 (Ref:3826982)

No way i want all the numerous RSR porsches looking the same, i think the variation we will hopefully see this year will be well received. And i think the pink pig will be by far the best selling in the model shops

**Aysedasi** · 5 Jun 2018, 17:14 (Ref:3826986)

I just hope they have some there - although you'll probably save some dosh buying them at home on eBay after the race.......

GT6 · 5 Jun 2018, 17:43 (Ref:3826991)

I am certain the porsche stand will have them but suspect they will be even more expensive than the over priced t shirts

Articus · 8 Jun 2018, 01:07 (Ref:3827554)

If the timing worked out with the IMSA cars, we might have seen hippie 911 and GT1 911 at Le Mans. There's always next year...
