Some of you may have seen this, some may not.

best.complex.com did an article on the 50 greatest race car liveries (graphics, paint job, etc) of all time. Whether you agree with all them or not, or the order of them... there are some really cool cars in there. I especially liked the video footage they found to go along with them (although a few of them didn't match the cars). Enjoy!

The 50 Greatest Race Car Liveries

 

#33, you know how I know Apple is gay?

#2 can be seen at Ferrari of Tampa Bay. Its funny I think the most bad ass car in there is a Ford? WTF lol. Although they did just get in that F430GT or w/e the racecar edition. So sik!

 

Pareneli Jone's should have been much higher, at least they included a castrol and martini car.

 

I was surprised to see the Heinz 57 Corvette. I knew Dave Heinz
and saw him run it in the 24 hours of Daytona. I liked the car's looks and when I designed the jacket patch to be sold at the track that year, I put his car on the jacket patch. I probably have the only one left........on my sports car jacket.

Dave Heinz was a car dealer from Tampa....started with small British
BMC Sprites, Midgets, etc.........then he sold more expensive exotics....moved his dealership to Hillsborough Ave....won the "Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea" race sponsored by Car and Driver Magazine.......Later on, spoofs of the Cannonball Baker were named "Gumball Rallye"

When Dave Heinz passed away from cancer, one of the guys in the shop knew the value and the significance of that trophy and took it home with him..........I don't know what happened to his other trophies..... If anyone knows a Native American Indian named Ed MacDonald, he probably knows more than me.
-----------------------------------------
Not quitting won a championship.....
I was at Road Atlanta the year Dave Heinz won the SCCA National Championship in Formula A.
That car had more power than a human could control. When you floored the gas, the car jumped sideways.....427 fuel injected Chevy V8.........at the halfway point, he was so far behind in 3rd place that the guy next to me said " Dave Heinz should just give up." I said "What for? The other guys could always break".

The cars in first and second place did not break.....

They both spun out......and Dave Heinz drove to a National Championship.
From then on, his stationary and his business logo had a line across the
page left to right and a tiny winged Formula A car at the right edge......

That's when Dave got the Corvette......It was raced all over the country as well as Sebring and Lemans. The huge fiberglass fender flares were made in a small shop on Lauber Way in Drew Park by Rick Jellison.

Dave Heinz once told me that you could win plenty of races. You could win National Championships. You could be one heck of a racer, but
until you drive a Corvette, no one knows your name. Once you drive a
Corvette..........EVERYBODY knows your name.-Bob

 

this is such a crap list!!!! here is the best!!!!!!!!!!

 

Loved the Jordan...wish they were still around in F1

 

The Jordan was sweet also the 2001 f1 Jag instant classic.

 

^ That Jag always looked sooo smooth...

 

the Tictac BMW and the 787B are personal fave's of mine.
