first pic of McLaren Honda

[Blayney]

Lovely looking car. I thought this years nose regs would result in a field of BGP001, how disappointed I was.

Honda wouldn't allow the car to be silver i.e mercs colours would they? If they demanded Alonso I think they may also demand red and white paint. I hope so anyway I want to see a new livery for a change.

Isn't red and white the traditional Honda racing colours anyway?

Yep.

I'd like to see the Mclaren in the Repsol colours personally but that's highly unlikely.

I work in Woking and often see McLarens vehicles driving around, vans, mini buses and their racing transporters, anyway on the way home last night I sported a McLaren transporter painted........

Predominantly white with an orange ribbon effect running along the trailer. Ive been looking out for their vehicles as they would need to be decked out in the livery soon, and maybe that was it.

Dislaimer: Their is a chance it was a GT wagon, but I haven't seen it before.

Testing/launch colours? They often launch with Orange. Livery to come later.

Something for the historic cars possibly?

And yes, I do know he is copying the Marlboro car, but that wing is not from it.

Maybe, but doubt it. 99% of McLarens fleet was (up to and inc 2014) decked in Silver or black. The only McLaren rig I have ever spotted that was not silver or black was a black & orange rig which was on a ferry on the way back from Spa in 2011, but that was for GT's.

I do think that the new livery will be predominantly white with a splash of orange. I can't imagine they would paint their whole fleet for testing either, race cars yes but the whole fleet? If so, then wow!

I'd agree there is a chance that that is a GT wagon...

That's exactly what I thought when I saw that video (not the car shape but the colour scheme).

Well the trucks will not be needed till the first European race in May, so there is still plenty of time to get them re-painted/re-branded if neccessary

[NRS]

They've also come out with this. I'd be willing to bet they are going for red and white after this.

Agreed. Possibly the safest bet of the year
