GTR XU-1 Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 In trying to tie the two SBR car liveries together a bit more...I think Holdsworth's car might have looked a bit better with the silver bit as black. But otherwise not a bad effort from SBR so far....even the Lucky 7 looks OK. For me and in no particular order, the nicer ones / aggresive ones are HRT (although I am not traditionally an HRT supporter), BJR with the BOC entry, SBR with the SP Tools Entry and Walkinshaw's Supercheap Entry. Cleveland - I dont know if there is any performance gap between the Holdens and Ford...but 888 and the rest of the field...yes! It will be good if at least 3 or 4 teams from both camps real 888 in!

silver rocket Posted February 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) GRM Will be interestin to see how Premat goes.... Alex Premat In 2000 he finished as runner-up in 125cc ICC European Championship. Moved up to French Formula Renault in 2001, and after familiarising himself with the series, won the title in 2002. Prémat moved to the resultant Formula Three Euroseries, driving for the ASM team with Olivier Pla, another driver who raced in the inaugural GP2 season. He stayed there for the 2004 season, also winning the prestigious Macau Grand Prix and Marlboro Masters non-championship races. GP2 Series Prémat driving for Audi (Phoenix) at the Hockenheimring during the 2008 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters season.This earned him a drive in the 2005 GP2 Series, for ART Grand Prix, the team ran by Nicolas Todt. He was behind team-mate Nico Rosberg, but was the highest-place second driver in the championship. Alex remained, alongside the young British driver Lewis Hamilton for 2006, though he was overshadowed, as he finished third whilst Hamilton took the honours. A1 Grand PrixPrémat also drove the A1 Team France car in A1 Grand Prix in the 2005–06 season, he and team-mate Nicolas Lapierre winning the title for their nation. Alex did not return to the series for the following season, and the French team's form dropped noticeably Prémat drove the third Spyker MF1 Racing car at the 2006 Chinese Grand Prix. He also had an off-season test with Champ Car team Mi-Jack Conquest Racing. Prémat had the quickest time in several sessions and stated that he was targeting a ride in Champ Cars for 2007. Another possibility was to drive in Formula One with Spyker, as one of their test drivers, but it did not work out. Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters & Le Mans SeriesEventually he drove for Audi in the 2007 DTM series and participated in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, also with Audi. In 2008 Prémat again raced in DTM, and also the Le Mans Series with Audi. In 2009 French driver remained in this series and also participated in 24 Hours of Le Mans. He was fired by Audi before the final race of the 2010 season for running in the New York Marathon instead of recovering from a heavy crash at the previous round Edited February 10, 2012 by silver rocket Quote I Miss Brocky...

Captain Posted February 10, 2012 Report Share Posted February 10, 2012 (edited) Not sure about the grm car. It looks good in some shots then there are others where I'm not so sure. I think it will look better when there is less light... Like pic 2. Think I'll reserve judgement for the track. As for Premat - there has been a bit of discussion on that... Some feel Gaz should have looked to local talent in the development series with v8 experience... But Garry has a pretty good track record when it comes to picking talent... But yeah interesting to see how how he goes. Love the peddle car in the second pic. Edited February 10, 2012 by Captain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ember Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Oh. I like the number 30 livery. Nice and clean. Vodaphone and Fujitsu are the biggest yawns. I don't much like the PepsiMax either, but then I didn't like the last effort on it either. Patrizi and Webb QR codes are going to keep some folk entertained. Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.

Cleveland Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) Must admit, #30 does look alright. All the car is missing, is a sharks mouth front bumper and eyes painted on the headlights............that would have given the car plenty of PR.

Captain Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 (edited) I think #30 Driver is Taz Douglas - I'm not sure if it short term or if he has a contract with LDM. The Tekno car liveries (Webb and Patrizi) are just temporary for the prcactice day too (or so I heard).

schuey19 Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 They do look the goods. You can go to that extreme with wraps. I'd hate to be the one to go to your airbrush artist with it!

Ember Posted February 29, 2012 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Yeah well. One day's application for a wrap. We won't worry about design and layout time. Plus a day for printing. Another for 24 hours or more for degassing. Maybe 2 hours laminating all the print panels. How many weeks for airbrush? Quote Computers. They'll never catch on.
