Best looking WTCC car of 2005

Most ugly (or in this case boring) WTCC car of 2005:
BMW Deutschland (not the Watsons Water BMW Deutschland car at the Macau race which looks ok)

I hope BMW Deutschland and BMW Italy/Spain (UK car looks ok) will choose a better livery for 2006.

What are your favourites?

Göransson had Black BMW with yellow bonnet (or hood or something) in STCC while his team mate Björk used same but black and white. In ETC Cup they both had Björks livery (with Swedish flag on roof).

1. Chevrolet

3. BMW UK

I really like the race Lacetti. It looks so much better than the road version which is one of the big plus points of touring car racing - taking a standard dull looking car and beefing it up a bit.

With WTCC racing all over the world any chance Watsons will do a full season with BMW? Or is it only available in Macau?

Watson's have backed BMWs in Macau for many years, going back to the 80s, it seems like a yearly deal in that part of the world.

Best looking cars would be between the Honda and the Alfa.

I'm indifferent about the BMW's, nice looking cars but i find the front bumper a shocker.

The Seat Leon is a shocking thing to look at though

Speaking of good looking cars, it will be very sad to see the demise of the E46 as a works car [I don't like the Chris Bangle replacement of the 3 series] and also the Alfa team as a works team in 2006. I know they'll all be used by privateers... but I think I won't be the only one looking back at 2005 as a year when two main works teams fielded pretty nice looking cars.

The WTCC pictures page is the crappiest crap page i've ever come across. To get pictures from it, I have to print screen and them crop them out!!

There's a download option. Really good high quality pictures, I think it's one of the best.

I don't know why they attempt to protect the low quality ones really.

Yeah but the download ones have nasty protection (unseen) which causes problems when using them.

Best Looking:

De Micheli's Accord, the one used in Macau, with Noble's sponsorship and all in yellow and white..wow
Lacko's BMW, very smart and elegant
Balzan's SEAT, the best SEAT livery

Worst Looking:

Schnitzer's BMW, too much white and black
Italy - Spain's BMW , too much withe and blue
Proteam's BMW, awful

the best livery for me is the '03 Priaulx one

My favourites...the Red, White & Black JAS Accord, the green Lacko BMW, the multi-colour Seat Spain job on the Toledo/Leon.

Ugs - BMW Deutschland, boring...Crawford, same reason - that frog green RS-Line Focus - yuck!
