850Estate should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
We haven't seen all the liveries yet, but Tom Ingram has a fairly early contender for the worst. Dear me. Looks like something Team Hard would reject!

Enjoying this too. Lacking Silverline backing this year however.

The Vauxhall's look absolutely stunning - even without any brand branding!

That's because Adrian Flux have replaced Silverline as title backer

Ah good, thanks for the confirmation. Was perhaps thinking the team lost some funding.

Slightly disappointing to see almost no Vauxhall branding on the Astras, but not entirely unexpected.

There would be Vauxhall branding if Vauxhall put any money in. As it is, it's still Automotive Brands / Adam Weaver's money - hence the livery.

I'm quite puzzled by the whole Norlin thing. The cars look decent, the trucks look great, they've got two good drivers, yet I've no idea what Norlin are and who is funding them. What is a Norlin? Can you Norlin? Do I need a Norlin?

Intruiged by the Price deal, wasn't sure how well backed he was. Undoubted talent, wonder if this is a full-year gig though. Want to see who the mystery sponsor is now.

Scoobies are a huge improvement livery wise...

I write as someone following the media day via SM, etc but is it me or are the BTCC media days becoming more underwhelming as so much is being announced in advance and many of the cars already launched that there is little new to say at the media day?

True and a fair point. Today is a livery reveal day and a free test, plus all sorts of other things that get done such and images, videos and VTs for ITV. But on the other hand, it's nice to see so many deals done early and testing miles completed. I'd rather it this way around IMHO.

According to Autosport it's a full year deal.

Looks OK from the front, but dear me from the side it's just awful. I know it's difficult to incorporate so many different sponsors in to a cohesive livery, but why add those bright green bits? Having seen all of the other liveries I think most of them look quite good. Especially like the Norlin Cruzes.

That is a massive step up in funding from the Clio Cup required for this.

Depends how subsidised it is. I always said there was no way Warren Scott would hand back the fourth license
