It also harks back to the last Nissan retro with the LMP1 at Le Mans. Good times.
What? |

late '80 - early '90 blue/white/red livery is cool; a bit an unlikely tribute by a team that basically has any tie with nissan...

Imo the Core 'Nissan' is by far the best retro livery out there (at this point) and I hope the 'Ooww's-and-Aaww's are so overwhelming, Bennett will consider running the second car as well!

Agree, this year is just a retro-tribute dictated mood so everything is legit; but honestly core has the same tie with nissan as an average joe who bought an used nissan sentra. That's why it's quite weird to see a team tributing something that actually never shared for real. I could understand to see at example ferrari 488 risi with the red/yellow momo themed livery because of their long history with ferrari; it's just core running with a classic nissan livery that looks strange to me. But as I said, everything is legit. |

Seems like another team is rocking the retro look, possibly for the season according to DSC. Starworks with the old Audi GTO livery. Is it a sign I'm old that I looked at it and thought "retro?" that just just looks like an Audi livery. Had to remember it has been a while since it was used though.
They are expecting at least one other team to do a retro livery as well. |

Love the Audi, wish it would also have the sound track of the Audi 90 GTO. We need rude sounds.

The green throws it off but it's a classic look. I think I like the Fords the best so far.

Would take the sign off from a racer who most recently ran in WC with his own MOMO car. And has run the livery on his cars in HSR. Henrique Cisneros and the Cisneros group own the brand now but I don't think we've seen him on track much lately and I didn't remember their cars at the Mitty either this year.

That retro Audi livery has been done so many times that it's now just a modern livery again lol. It's been redone more than it was done during the original era.
