Lovin' the new RAC livery.
Mat Jackson's car looks really good too.
And I like the Chevvys.
And Mike and Andrew Jordan's cars look great with the orange/yellow detailing.
And actually I think that both the Vauxhalls and the SEATs look better this year with the new sponsorship.
I like Alan Taylor's new livery as well.
And the lexuses look good.
OK..... there aren't any that I don't like. :D

I really love the new white-orange WSR livery, i don`t like the Vauxhall livery very much. I think, it was better last year!

I think the new red of John Geroge looks nice, but I think most of this years liverys look good.

I think it looks like vauxhall havent bothered with anything imaginative on theres and it looks rubbish. Seats is good, a big improvement and the litte details on RAC's cars look nice. Mat J's looks really sleak and smart and is definetly my favourite!

I like the Motorbase cars. The BMW's lines really help with that coloured band going from the front lights to the rear lights.
The Jackson car is very BMW-looking, but a little bit bland for my liking.
John George's car looks fantastic though, especially as it no longer has an orange interior or all those white bits on it, or the photo of the bloke saying "We give great deals!!!"

Johns car has never been orange inside, it was changed when th motorsport got the car before last season! And that man was a women !?!?!? although you do have to get pretty close to spot the heart necklace she was wearing!!!!

I think the Vectras look better than last year and the Seats look worse! and although i dont really like the integras i think the liveries on the Jordan cars look fantastic, I'm especially liking the white wheels.
My favourite though has to be the RAC cars mainly because i want Turkington to win the championship this year :D

Aubergine isn't orange, it's a dark red/wine/maroon colour. ;)
Romano
16th Mar 2008, 10:23 PM
Well according to Matt Neal and Dan Eaves in 2006, Matt had signed an RAC hat by accident, The interviewer mentioned this and Matt said well its hard to notice this unless you look at it and see the RAC or Halfords logo, Matt went onto say that our logo is Auberghine and theres is Orange and there is very little difference in it ;)

Romano

Im a VXR fan, And I find nothing special about the paintjob, Its dull and boring. They need to mix the white and red, Not have them the way they are now :(

oh, have a bit of brightness in your words man - I like the new VXR colours - at last they've got rid of the nasty green! green stands for jealousy and envy anyhow and i don't like those words - their negatives while red is about heat, energy, anger, passion and love - everything VXR - positivity!!!

i noticed that too, the front grill in all red made it look rubbish, i think the red paint looks less vivid too since media day!
Romano
17th Mar 2008, 11:17 PM
The reds darker IMO, And they stopped the white going down over the sides of the bonnet, Which I think is alot better

makes ya wonder if a triple888 worker has been on here and read all the comments in the other thread ( media day thread i belive) about the new paint job, gone back to work and sorted it out!!:D

Jackson's looks great and its also great for the BTCC that BMW are giving some 'official' backing to the project.
When the big bosses in Germany start taking note, it must mean the BTCC's reputation is continuing to grow
daveylad1978
18th Mar 2008, 01:10 PM
It's not the big bosses in Germany though, it's BMW UK.

18th Mar 2008, 01:44 PM
im not even sure if it is... its a Dealer team :confused:
im still expecting a BMW works team next year... with Mat J and maybe someone else
muttley
18th Mar 2008, 01:48 PM
Yes you're right it is a dealer team - I didn't mean it was a works team, I just meant that it's good the team are getting some official backing from BMW, albeit not factory support.
mattlovestbs
18th Mar 2008, 03:03 PM
yeah i agree... and the testing times are showing a lot of potential there :)
i hope Mat does very well this year... and earns a full BeeEmm works drive sometime

It's a strange setup. It's more like a pat on the back from BMW UK saying "well done, carry our logos". Maybe they're getting parts from them rather than payment?

He says something about this on the Audio/video section of the site in his interview at media day.

I like the RAC Beemers. they look much better with the white stripes.
Dont like the SEAT's or VXR, not much imagination there tbh.
The Lexus look good, John George's Integra looks nice too. As do the Jordans.
I like TD's orange rimmed wheels, thats a nice touch.
The Alfa's look hideous, that colour could ruin almost any car!

The green on the Alfas is to make them go faster...............possibly! :p

dont mind the vauxhalls better than last year thought the seats looked a mess is it just me or does yellow and green just not go,best looking so far has to be the eurotech cars or the hondas.
mattlovestbs
19th Mar 2008, 03:44 PM
the Green and Yellow of the Seat looks nice.. the silver livery was starting to get boring...
BTC Racings livery isnt bad though.
and Team 48's livery... urgh, they've wrecked the Alfa big time with that colour

One of the Xero Lexii will be green and yellow!

Considering Xero Competition havent yet signed up, There website hasnt be updated in a considerable amount of time, That would lead to them nowhere.
They still have the Radicals and Duplop Great and British Festivals to compete in.
The only way you could have seen a Yellow and Green Lexus otherwise would have been a production model.
If they do sign up to the BTCC, I would assume it would be a Red and Black car ;)

Don't know which website you are looking at but there have been at least 2 BTCC related updates in the last month or so.

When they sign up, the cars will not be red and black.

Scroll down. There are black, orange, white, blue, pink and yellow cars, all of which are run from those or similar trucks.
