I think the new Mercedes livery looks nice.
I hope that's not jumping down anyone's throat. |

Love the Mercedes livery. Was getting very bored of the yellow Wix one.

Is Moffat's Merc still ran by Ciceley, or is Laser Tools Racing now an outright separate entry?
Nice to welcome another big name sponsor into the series. I'm a fan of red racing cars, so naturally I'm quite fond of Morgan's new livery! |

I think the issue with the livery is the same issue with a few of recent years. The bare black components aren't tied into the design well. I call it the panda car look as it reminds me of the black and white police liveries. It was a symptom of some of the early Rob Austin Racing Audis, the BMR Restart and BKR VWs (the urban camo livery on Smith's car later in the season looked loads better). With all the advancements with vinyl in recent years, it wouldn't be hard to apply some red to black fades or with a bit more creativity, some stripes or design elements to make the black look more intentional. Now what would have been brilliant is a take on this Mac Tools drift livery: |

According to the Wiki entry list, the fourth BMR seat could be run under a separate banner
Enjoyed that BMW launch on YouTube. Paul O'Neill did a brilliant job there |

In semi-BTCC related news, VW have announced the successor to the Passat CC: http://www.autoblog.com/2017/03/06/2...sedan-details/
Would make a mean looking touring car though I suspect it's gonna be too big. I also wonder what effect PSA's buyout of Vauxhall/Opel will have on the existing deal with PMR and any future participation. Sounds like both parties are pretty tight on funds at the moment! |

There's a reason there is no Vauxhall branding on the mock up of PMR Astra.

They have just put a massive Vauxhall logo on the side of their truck though!

According to Autosport, the Vauxhall deal is three years. Whether or not that is honoured remains to be seen.
RE the lack of Vauxhall branding - as someone on here mentioned before, just remember that the first Levorg mock up had little or no Subaru branding, and the MGs apart from last year have run with very little branding, not to mention the Hondas last year. I reckon we'll see some Vauxhall branding, along with Power Maxed Racing branding... not long to wait now! |

Well it's not Warren Scott in the fourth Subaru - he's doing the British Rallycross championship:
