Ta-da, last year's Ford GTs become this year's.

I can't see the Castrol Livery without seeing this:

Because of how awesome the GT-Four turbo cheat they're now irrevocably intertwined.  The GT does wear it well.

No red, white and blue? Why do they hate America?

Because America isn't paying the bills.

In reply to The0retical :

I thought the turbo cheat was on the Corolla, not the Celica.

 

Interestingly, when Toyota made the ST205, they widened the track so much that the car was slower than the ST185...

Okay, question time.

 

I have a friend, who I might add is also a GRM'er, who may need to rip up his patio to solve a basement water leakage issue.  Would it be possible to set up a small poltiical thread so that we may get enough people involved for Marjorie to lay out a new patio for him?

Ha! It wasn't intended to be political, but I can see how it might come across that way.

A less potentially inflammatory way to put it might be "because America is not the primary sponsor of said racing vehicle, and thus has no say in the livery selection".

That's no fun, but technically correct is the best kind of correct.

That would be a little awkward for those who know their history, because the Gulf GT40s came about after Ford decided to stop racing and stopped development on the car.

Let's not let facts get in the way of a good paint job.

There may not be anything in the world more overdone that Gulf-Anything. I like the Motorcraft scheme, too bad they couldn’t get 7-11 for the other one.

If you really wanted obscure, you could always go with the original Gulf colors.

Love that look.  Both the paint job and the Notch!  I might need a tissue... :)

Although if we're trying to reach parity with the new GT, maybe I should have posted Al Williams' G-58 Gulfhawk VI.
