Pink!

[Evangelion]

Watching the two Force Indias circulating together at the Russian GP, a thought struck me:

Has there ever been a completely pink F1 car before?

And if not, has there ever been one with even a significant amount of pink in the colour scheme?

I suspect the answer to both the above may be 'no,' but am sure someone will put me right if it isn't!

The only one I can think of with a bit of pink was the 1992 Brabham.

I'd quite forgotten that one! Quite a dark pink though - more Windolene than FAB1.

There's another I'm trying to remember, from the '90s I think, which had a load of narrow stripes on it, of which pink was one. Haven't found it yet but I'll keep looking.

AGS?



Although not F1, there was, famously, the Pink Pig Porsche 917 -

That AGS was '80,s

Onyx?




ETA I think either the mid 90's Lola or Pacific car had flashes of pink too. Probably Pacific thinking about it - Lola was MasterCard, and never raced Iirc.

Jeez, that is ugly, it looks like a one-man Bobsleigh with wheels and wings attached.

I wonder if those guys complained about lack of front-end grip, all the time.

The air box looks way too small

This better?




I think it was just a re-hashed F3000 car, although at one point in that season ('87?) I think it led either the Colin Chapman/Jim Clark championships for non-turbo cars. Reliability was a strong point IIRC.

Found the Pacific (with a little help from dr_gn!).

The PR01, from 1994.
