I really like the livery on the TRG porches this season (rolex GT), the orange/black/burnt orange wheels is freakin awesome! I watched Homsetead I guess I they didn't get much air time but I'm watching VIR now and I'm really into them.

Have any favorite GT3's or others? I mean, there are kind of a lot to choose from. Scott's car is pretty cool also, should this be in motorsports?

I too love the TRG Porsches....I was very surprised to see they field those in place of the Pontiacs this season.

Also, as far as Porsche paint schemes...I really like the Martini racing entry in Grand AM

I'm a sucker for the old Gulf livery.



Simple and very recognizable.

And here's my take on a modern GT3 version of the livery:

Martini and Gulf liveries are classic.

As is the Rothmans livery.

That's awesome Scott.

I think designing the livery is one of the most techical aspects of getting a GT3 Cup Car ready to race right?

If stickers add horsepower, a good paint job will probably help torque, right?

If the stickers & paint bring sponsorship money in, then they can definitely add hp & torque.
