I love that! I think it looks marvelous.

[Coach Ep]

Yes, and very historically 'correct':

[Adam43]

You’d think they’d come up with something a little more original. A splash of yellow doesn’t fool me.

Still, everything can’t be as good as the Penske livery.

Different strokes for different folks.

[Aysedasi]

Even better.....

My eyes are bleeding, and when did they sign Old Ronald to a sponsor deal?

Even though this car is the inverted colour scheme of the factory cars, it is clearly an independently run car by the team running the factory cars. For sure not a 3rd factory car

Seriously? You don't like it?

[Ferrari333SP]

I personally don't like yellow on any car, but I'll probably just refer to this as the McDonalds car all season

[Aysedasi]

Strange, I like yellow, it's a nice change from the norm that we have seen for so many years.

[Gerard C]

Isn't it a reference to the past too?

[veeten]

Reminds me of the mid 60's Belgian team. Ran a yellow 330 P3.

[Coach Ep]

Rumor has it, JDC Miller is looking at a 499 as well!

Me too. Plus Écurie Francorchamps (have a look to the logo):https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fichie...ncorchamps.jpg

[veeten]

Yes! They ran a 250 LM, then for '67, a 330 P4. Remember seeing it during a retrospective with Alain de Cadenet. Fantastic car.

[TF110]

Not the biggest fan of yellow, but I'm glad its not ANOTHER red car! The reverse of the 'factory' Ferrari livery is kind of uninspiring but I feel like thats being picky.

[kdr]

Looks amazing, but i was hoping it was going to be black, white and red.... ;

Well you won't miss it. But I'm gonna be looking for that as the new McDonald's delivery car so their fleet can be hybrid and quick

[S griffin]

I don't mind yellow on racing cars, but the colour in this one looks a bit sickly. They need to go a bit of a lighter shade of yellow. And yes, it does look a bit Big Maccy yellow.

Strange, different takes, I guess. For me it is exactly the right thing to do.

The yellow is historically correct and never changed over the years: https://www.catawiki.com/en/l/793721...-proof-ferrari

[veeten]

Makes one wonder about the registry of that team. The only other way that would make it on the grid is as a sponsors colours.

Yes, they are after all "surely we swear, definitely NOT a factory team"

[v8supes]

Fascinating video detailing the work that AF Corse/Ferrari do to prepare the cars for the next race after a WEC event.

Also worth noting given the Cadillac Qatar penalty that Ferrari 3d scan their own car several times throughout the process.
