What are the great motorsport liveries of today?

[Twincam16]

Following a discussion on the Pikes Peak RS200 thread, it's got me thinking - what are today's iconic motorsport liveries? Which will be the ones people remember fondly in the way we look at Gulf, JPS, Marlboro and Martini today?

I'm tempted to say the current Lotus-Renault livery doesn't count because it's a blatant homage to the JPS livery.

I've got a personal liking for the Red Bull F1 livery though:



And as I said, Monster Energy seems to work quite well on certain cars:



And for some reason I've always liked this one, although I can't see people buying paddock jackets bearing the livery:

Monster energy vinyls

I like this on the Megane Trophy V6

[RemyMartin]

Always loved the Blend 37 Lagunas in the BTCC.

Agree with the monster comments, absolute mind and very charver IMO.

Best livery at the moment? Well the same one its always been. Gulf oil colours as found on the AM LMP car.

555 Subaru Legacy and Impreza
Vitaphone Maserati
Yellow and Black Compuware works Corvettes
Flying Lizards maybe?

i am sad/pleased to say that nay racing game i have that features a Stratos or fiat131 will always wear the Alitalia colours, no matter how long it takes me

Ott Tanak is running a similar(ish) livery on his M-Sport Fiesta this season.
while not identical, the Fiesta in matte black just looks right imo

Lol have you not been to a round of the BTCC recently? They are EVERYWHERE. Although you'll probably find they are all MG branded next year....

For me at has to be the Mclaren Livery. I guess they went with silver/chrome effect to show support for the Mercedes tie up (which no longer exists) but I think its the best looking car on the grid at the moment:



Especially at night:

For all the wrong reasons:



Great shout on the Repsol Honda livery.

This wins for me

I think some people are mistaking the word 'iconic' with 'ones that you like'.

Yellow 'vette's gotta be up there.
