My suggestion for the Lotus would be switching the John Player's Special on the engine cover with the Gold Leaf on the side pod. Just my opinion. Nevetherless, the car looks cool. BTW, I think that the Lotus logo by the exaust pipes on the original car looks better than the new one.

Regarding the Aston Martin, I really liked what you did by mixing the classic British Racing Green with the Gulf colors. Really nice job.

For the rest of Division III, my suggestions.


2 - Chrysler - Not much to say. Maybe do something looking more like Le Mans 1996/1997
3 - Maserati - IMO you should go easy on the Red Bull and Vitaphone sponsors. My suggestion would be something inspired on the 2005 colors. Blue all the way with Pirelli as main sponsor.
4 - Suzuki - based on Rallying, but change the yellow to blue (I'm not that crazy for blue) to give a bit of mix between car racing and bike racing.
5 - Lancia - Martini of course, I can't find a Lancia that isn't a Martini car except for the 1993 WRC Repsol Lancia, and a yellow and green Lancia LC2 from Le Mans 1984. Well, there was a good Portuguese rally driver (Carlos Bica) that drove a SG Gigante Lancia in the Portuguese rally champs in the early 90's.
6 - Subaru - Also nothing much to say. 555 tobacco sponsor. BTW Subaru also powered Coloni in F1 in 1990, with no results.
7 - Lamborghini - Black as base color. A maybe mix a bit of F1 teams that were once powere by Lamborghini: Larrousse, Lotus F1 1990, Ligier 1991, and Minardi 1992.
8 - Bentley - based on Lemans. Sponsored by Breitling
9 - Spyker - based on F1 and Lemans. No opinion on this one as I don't know much about this manufacturer history.
10 - Skoda - based on Rallying, I agree.
11 - Infiniti - based on Indycar. Also no opinion, for the same reason as Spyker.

Well, these are my suggestions.

BTW, Brett Sinclair, sorry for keeping correcting things, but Danica Patrick never drove an Indycar powered by Infiniti. Actually her first year in the Indycar Series was in 2005 and the last year Inifiniti powered a car for the ICS was in 2002. So, basically she only drove IndyCars powered by Honda.

Cheers.

I did not say that she drove an Infinity powered car...I just wanted to say to use the colours to honor the first female driver in Indy car history to win a race (2008 Indy Japan 300) that's all, watch the link...

As always you have made some very nice cars.
I was a bit disappointed with the Lotus, just not 'enough' black and gold to suit me. Still, 1 marginal disappointment vs. numerous outstanding cars => Yeah!

Anyway, for my recommendations:

2 - Chrysler - I'd go with Valvoline

3 - Maserati - Company colours are white and (dark) blue so I'd either go with their 2005 dark blue livery or a nice Parmalat livery based on the Brabhams of the mid 1980s.

4 - Suzuki - I'd go with the Rizla (bike) livery. A nice shade of light blue with yellow/gold letters.

5 - Lancia - Martini is of course the iconic sponsor for Lancia. However, they have had a few others too. Martini can be done in white (Martini Bianco) or red (Martini Rosso). Other options are Marlboro (the original sponsor of the Stratos), Alitalia or Totip.

6 - Subaru - This has to be 555, its as iconic for Subaru as JPS is for Lotus (sorry, couldn't resist that remark, my bad...)

7 - Lamborghini - Since Lambo doesn't have an iconic sponsor, I'd go with the Italian national colours. Alitalia, Totip or this one:
[forzamotorsport.net]

8 - Bentley - As previously said: Breitling or Harrods.

9 - Spyker - The Spyker squadron uses orange and silver as its colours (see Google). With some black added, it should make for a nice livery. No title sponsor but McGregor has been a major sponsor.

10 - Skoda - You could go with their rallying colours (ripped from the Italian flag ;)or go with Budweiser sponsoring....

11 - Infiniti - You could pick any (anonymous) livery from an Infiniti sponsored IRL team but I'd go for a Player's livery (as used by Greg Moore and Paul Tracy). Much more interesting....

@Brett Sinclair

Sorry mate, my bad, I misunderstood it. I'm a bit of a fanatic for Indycar racing and the Indy 500, that I wanted to show off my knowledge;)

Cheers.

Nice looking Chrysler but I think you should change the Playstation 2 sponsor by a Playstation 3 sponsor. PS2 is a bit out of date for the current times.

Cheers, looking forward for the next one.

I've also thought about it, but PS3 logo doesn't have good proportions....it's too wide and too small....when resizing doesn't have enough resolution.

IMO It's better than the expected. The Suzuki and the Maserati too. Very nice mix of sponsors. I like it a lot.

Congrats.

Cheers.
