Worst Liveried Race Cars of all Time

[Ephaeton]

re the BMW M1s (warhol or not) imho it's really hard to make these not pleasing to the eye. The car's lines are just too good. Same applies to this beast, hideous livery yet the overall impression is awesome.

In my personal opinion, I was never fond of the Stevenson Motorsport Audis. I'm afraid that the giant 'Murican' eagle doesn't exactly fit well with the German Marque as it did on their Grand-Am Camaro. Further, the red wheel rims coupled with the ridiculous IMSA Mandated Class Color ID's on the mirrors, rear wing, and the windscreen glare strip.




Lest I even start on the alternate colored sister car?

Blame GM for not allowing them to run the Reiter Camaro.

Oh.

Looks like stuff belonging to another vehicle was tacked on to it. Now, on the other hand, the road racing Quattro looked the part.....

I hated it when I first saw it, but after a few years, it actually grew on me.
Funny detail is they try to wave a pirates flag when they win, and have one above and in their pit box as well.





And for sure it is fairly easy to spot their cars in the queue

It's unique for sure. Thats cool about the Jolly Roger. I don't know if the shiny chrome wrap makes it better or worse.

This team.
Yes I like Itasha thing like Team GSR Miku, Team Eva, or Haribo this just worse even Hello Kitty Attempto Racing 650S much more acceptable.

What's point give NSFW pict to your race car? (yeah they have nipple showing livery)

I happened on this 3D painting of a Bimmer livery.

I like those almost-nakey lady liveries... The layout/design isn't great, but there is just something silly about a car with a scantily clad woman on it, particularly in this age where such things are so frowned upon. It's not what you expect to see on the side of a race car as it goes by.

They make me chuckle when I see them, so that's good enough for me... Maybe I'm just easy to amuse.

That(after googling)is a legit porn business sponsoring that car...

I actually think the opposite - it's poor to see because it's frowned upon. It isn't inclusive to taking young girls to the track when all they are represented by is half naked ladies. There's a time and place for this sort of stuff, and that's fine, but not when you're meant to be a family event.

I don't think you'd ever describe the S1 as a thing of beauty- 'brutally purposeful' is probably a better description.

I always loved the 'classic' Audi Sport colours from those 80's Quattros- very simple livery, but immediately recognisable.

The addition of the yellow for the 'HB' sponsorship in 1985(?) or so did nothing for it though...

Must admit it's a pity Audi weren't tempted to livery up one of the R18s in a version of the retro colours for their final WEC outing this year as a 'goodbye' gesture.

[Matt]

Yeah, The Rum Bum cars were awful.

[Akrapovic]

It's terrible, but its more of an Art Car than that latest BMW I suppose.

Can't stand the green used by Patron and Monster myself.

I get it, but green and black work so very well for me, and the Patron livery has consistently been one of my favorites over the past few years.

I enjoy the colors together, just HATE the scheme.

Oh I agree, but I was just speaking in the context of whether or not I dislike the livery itself.

Are they even still allowed to race? Being in the US there's only so much I can follow the N24 and I don't remember seeing one of those in the coverage I have seen in the last two years. Would think with the event seemingly growing a bit internationally and having some more cameras on it that the organizers might not be so lenient.

Another naked lady car, and on the Storm too.
