Quote HistoryGood choice. Last time NASCAR was really fucking cool, that was one of my favorite cars of the era. And, cause I love all kinds of racing....the undisputed best paint in dirt and the most divisive racer, ever....Scott Bloomquist's "0" is always awesome.

Quoted: It's an obvious answer to say the Gulf badged GT40...my favorite car to ever exist, but I got thinking what are some of other coolest cars & their famous paint schemes? I actually like the Gulf scheme on the Porsche 917 even better. https://images.fineartamerica.com/images/artworkimages/mediumlarge/1/gulf-porsche-917-peter-chilelli.jpg Also loved Smokey Yunick's "7/8" Chevelle from 1968 (Yeah, Reese Bobby's car was inspired by this). https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ab/2c/4c/ab2c4ccaa66df08866da160c3a102cbc.jpg What's your faves? Smokey's car was more a 15/16th Chevelle.  All of his cars looked, and ran awesome. Probably my favorite was Fireball Roberts '62 Catalina though.  Agreed on the Gulf livery, for all their cars. Drag racing I'm partial to this one, my dad's '69 Camaro... in 1969.  But Raymond Beadle's Blue Max Mustang II made me tingly too.

Gulf 917 is art. For those unaware, the 917 is smaller than the Porsche 914. Tiny car. Always thought they were bigger.

A BUNCH of very nice liveries!!
Have always loved the Dale look...my latest livery for the TA2, a tribute to Dale (even with #13)...  Did the same with my old ASA/GTA car...  A retro livery for the TA2...might go back to this one, MUCH easier to spot on the track (so many solid black cars - my wife commented on this while spotting this past weekend at COTA)...

Quote HistoryQuoted: All the 917 liveries were iconic. Quote HistoryQuoted: All the 917 liveries were iconic. Yep...  Attached FileQuoted: That looks like ass. Big fat ugly pimply ass. It was the first real ground effects car. A snowmobile engine sucked the car down onto the track for better traction in corners. Release the fan throttle for higher speeds in straights. It was a revolutionary car that was quickly banned because of its advantage. Lots of great liveries already posted, but I've always liked the Panoz LMP1 Stars and Stripes livery  Attached FileThe car was pretty cool also as it was an American based team (Panoz owned Road Atlanta) and was the only front engined car in the prototype class. They sounded good too...  1999 Panoz LMP1 Roadster-S Unfortunately, they quickly became uncompetitive when Audi stepped up their game in the prototype class. |

The drivers feet are forward of the front axel and probably don’t make for good crash protection. |

During the race there's a shit of the 917 swinging out to pass and the drivers head just fills the windshield. Always thought it was the angle or distortion or something. His head just looks almost comically huge. |
