PMR’s new title sponsor is a surprise

luckn002 · 27 Mar 2018, 09:55 (Ref:3811188)

Liveries so far -

Oliphant - nice colours
Moffat - the same?
Subaru - much improved
PMR - not a fan, not enough colour
Norlin - bit too plain
Dynamics - awful!
Ingram - much better colours.
HARD - like it
Audis - the same
Jordan - awful!
MG - suprisingly really like it!

(Sorry for my very tight standards!)

MGs look like they have left it out in a conservatory over the winter and one side has weirdly faded in the sun.

The Dunlop Live video

Anyone know if we get live comms of the test session this afternoon like last year given Donington have changed their website and cant seem to find any other info

Sodemo · 27 Mar 2018, 10:24 (Ref:3811199)

Thanks.

Not seen the indie BMW, Jelly?

Moneyseeker · 27 Mar 2018, 10:27 (Ref:3811200)

I thought The Range was announced as a BTC Norlin sponsor - couldn't see it on the car?

Very little considering how much they hyped it up! Guess that's the importance of sponsors for small teams!

It will be here if it is being broadcast, I'd imagine.

It was shown in the background of one of the ITV Sport Instagram Lives, but everyone seems to have ignored it otherwise.

Evolution, not revolution. But it's definitely different.

A lot more yellow.

That pirtek livery looks awesome and the MGs look better than they ever have in my opinion.

The only liveries I'm not keen on are the Astras and Tom Ingrams

Would look alright if not for the solid rectangle of yellow along the side...

Generally I like the liveries this year, although a few too many teams with predominantly black or white liveries. Good to see the MG's have finally got some colour on them and Tingram's is much nicer than last year's.

Really disappointed by the PMR Vauxhall's though - no flow at all and barely any colour. The Dynamics Honda's are pretty bland too and again lacks the flow I like in a good livery.

jimothy84 · 27 Mar 2018, 12:17 (Ref:3811227)

Caine's is gonna take some getting used to, I bet in direct sunlight its dangerous

Like it though, nice and bold. Not as much white on show this year, which is all good!

The MGs look much better than they have before, Jordan's BMW is really good too.

luckn002 · 27 Mar 2018, 12:19 (Ref:3811228)

Think the changes to the JST will see a great improvement. Should be really close between Hill, Bushell, Thompson, Cammish and Proctor.

luckn002 · 27 Mar 2018, 12:37 (Ref:3811230)

As we thought the MG's are no longer a part of the manufacturer's championship. Independant entry, looks like no backing from MG.

Where do you think the first 'why is Gilham sponsoring vauxhall' question will be seen?

Matt K · 27 Mar 2018, 13:12 (Ref:3811238)

Astras look great IMHO. For me the worst livery is that of Dynamics Honda given that this is a manufacturer team. Racing cars that are mostly black don't look great on track for me. And, cmon, Eurotech livery looks nearly exactly the same! I hoped for different colours from Dynamics.
