What color for Renault next year

renaultbel · 1 Sep 2001, 08:56 (Ref:139488)

What do you guy's think of maybe a chrome car ? that would be nice to such a car. I think they are going to go in the grey direction like there info books

Renault got 3 colors in there garage Dark grey yellow end light grey so maybe it could be 1 of these colors
Ore do you guy's maybe know something more like me ?

Nicholas · 1 Sep 2001, 09:38 (Ref:139504)

Perhaps yellow and grey?

f1manoz · 1 Sep 2001, 09:45 (Ref:139507)

It could depend on a few things:

Is Mild Seven staying?
Is Benetton staying?
Will any major sponsor affect the colour styling?

Otherwise, they could turn out cars that look exactly like the previous Renault cars of the 1980's, but they were damn ugly.

Hopefully the Renault designers come up with something eye-catching.

EERO · 1 Sep 2001, 11:13 (Ref:139563)

Mild Seven is leaving.

It's my understanding that Renault wants yellow cars as that's the corporate color scheme.

I doubt any sponsor will have a great impact on the final livery.

jiggly_puff · 1 Sep 2001, 12:46 (Ref:139615)

renault cars in other formulas are mostly yellow! that would hold certain 'clash' problems with jordan though

**Bononi** · 1 Sep 2001, 14:00 (Ref:139632)

That should be yellow like 81 cars...

racer69 · 1 Sep 2001, 15:00 (Ref:139657)

I don't think the colours of other cars will come into it, why would it bother them.

Remember 2000 - yellow minardi's and Jordans
- the old Scudaria Italia cars, similiar red to Ferrari

Isn't it Benetton the one leaving? Or Am I outdated and BOTH are leaving?
International Renault Colors are Dark Gray, Light Gray and Yellow

YELLOW WHITE AND BLACK PLEASE AS PER 77-85!!!!

The most distinctive and spectacular F1 colour scheme of all time including the TITs (- That Italian Team).

My apologies facco, I had thought that that the Benetton family's departure from the sport was a foregone conclusion. The only surprise is the Mild Seven are on the way out.

As for the color scheme, yellow is the predominent color-the stripes, whether dark gray, light gray or black, are secondary.

Victor Broccoli · 1 Sep 2001, 23:51 (Ref:139905)

Please no more duck egg blue. It's just a really ugly colour to paint a racecar. It looks nice in a bathroom or perhaps a bedroom, but not so good on a 800bhp racecar

**Bononi** · 2 Sep 2001, 00:33 (Ref:139927)

Victor, if they have it properly, that's what will happen...

**Stephen Green** · 2 Sep 2001, 07:11 (Ref:139988)

I go along with yellow, but to say they won't care about sponsors colours is a little rash. If someone is going to come up with millions of dollars to sponsor them, then like williams etc, the colour of the car will be radically different.

paulzinho · 3 Sep 2001, 21:16 (Ref:140821)

GO CLASSIC!!!!

**Bononi** · 3 Sep 2001, 21:38 (Ref:140836)

Yeah, but the sponsors will make a key role for the livery... what about Microsoft sponsoring them ????

francis · 3 Sep 2001, 22:39 (Ref:140860)

Somewhere up the top of this list chrome was mentioned. Does anyone remember the original B+H gold that Jordan sported. Just didn't work on TV and (although I may be completely out of memeory here) something tells me that the paint was too heavy (??). I recently came across a pic I took of Brundle in the "gold" car and it looked hideous. The mind boggles at chrome

jiggly_puff · 3 Sep 2001, 23:05 (Ref:140874)

just looked like a pack of b+h fags driving round a track!!!

Minardi fan · 4 Sep 2001, 11:34 (Ref:141090)

Yellow.

Microshaft???? Oh god no. Bill Gates might try and buy F1!!!

Speed · 4 Sep 2001, 14:06 (Ref:141163)

Bill Gates can help a lot with his millions..., Minardi first, pleasssse...

**Bononi** · 4 Sep 2001, 16:14 (Ref:141198)

Just wait and see...

**Stephen Green** · 4 Sep 2001, 17:20 (Ref:141218)

It would be good to see such a large corporation involved in F1, especially given the recent decline in dot.com stocks!

conemoy_fawlef · 4 Sep 2001, 17:38 (Ref:141229)

Yellow - PLEEEAASSSEEE Yello with a blue stripe!!!
