This is a team we need to support, since they might add to the P1 (or P2) grid next year depending on how they do in Formula LeMans, and where the sponsor stands.

The green is supposed to represent the eco-friendliness and those are supposedly trees on the wheel fenders in the top picture

I think I can agree on the second part Best Wishes to all teams especially Braille, I think the history is in the design the future is yet to be determined. =]

To be honest Matt, it already looks like it’s crashed! Although to be fair, good luck to Joel and their partnership for 2010..

I think it’s actually quite nice looking the car will come out like the best race car of all – one with a fresh new design. (Just don’t crash it)

Quite funny.

They don’t think its a mistake given all the dollars they will get from the deal. Joe feinferg was paying out of pocket for the GT2 effort, now he has a solid sponsor.

They just went for high visibility with the skin.

Braille actually supplies the batteries for many ALMS teams including Fernandez and Corvette, and other series as well.

Big mistake. Although, I guess the lesson learnt here is to NEVER turn your back on a child with crayons!

The best livery has to be the gulf livery on any car, since only championship winning teams get gulf sponsorship. That said Aston Martin might loose Gulf backing for next year.

No LMS, no full ALMS, so unless they win a major race (lemans 24, sebring, petit, or japan) they won’t have any significant results to speak of.

It looks too “busy”. One thing I found out is that for the most part, the better a car does the better I appreciate its livery.

The more you see it, the more you like it.

I view all my racing on a standard television. As such my requirements for a ‘good’ livery might be different from others. I like skins that POP out. Black on black or all Silver do not translate well on TV. So if I can see this car, even in the background and KNOW its the Primetime car, then the livery is doing it’s job.
Green and white seem to be an increasingly popular color scheme so I may hesitate between the Dyson Mazda and this or the Highcroft Acura. But overall, this looks to be a livery that will easily translate to TV.
We’ll see.
