BAR Livery
Just seen some images from free practise and i see BAR have a new livery. Is this a one off, or will this be the Honda scheme for next year?

Last year BARs also featured 555 branding. Davidson's car was completely blue.

I haven't seen it yet but if it is the dark metalic blue with 555 in yellow this is much nicer than the Lucky Strike one.

Yeah, that looks bad.
The Subaru Rally cars 555 liveries prove that the blue and yellow scheme can (and should) look really good.. |

Aye, the 555 subaru-esque works, but 555 with a BAT color scheme doesn't look to good to me either.

That is only original color scheme with different colors, blue instead of red, and yellow where there was gold.

AD ran various 'Friday Liveries' last season which were all stripped off straightaway after the final friday practice sessions to reveal the original standard BAR white bodywork so the car could be called upon as the spare car. Even that all blue '555' livery last year was all done entirely with PVC Vinyl !...a credit to BARs skillful and creative Graphics guys!

It's hardly lazy - it was probably more work than paint would have been

Nah, I reckon it's just a dodgy set of transfers back from the printers getting used

The alt blue colour scheme is very ugly. I like the original but I am not in favour of the one they are using in China!

I quite liked AD's Friday livery at Brazil last year, that seemed to go unnoticed.

Problem is that the scheme looks like a mix of Lucky and 555 because the FIA don't allow "radical" scheme changes, do they?

I think the cars (one team) are only allowed to run in identical colours,not in different ones. |
