The rest of the 2017 cars/liveries.  I like the McLaren orange, which seems to be a kind of throwback to before the Marlboro days.

	That Torro Rosso one is sweet.

	Agreed. The Hass looks terrible though! No red, white and blue combo anywhere? They're not sponsored, so they can do whatever they want. Strange. Edited by SteveG - March 03 2017 at 14:04

	The Supercars season has started! First up, the Clipsal 500 in Adelaide. We just need F1 and Indycar to start and the racing season will be in full swing.

	Borrowed this from a friend. Great tales of old tracks and races like Nurburgring and the Targa Florio by Redman. The book costs 60 USD (!), but is spectacular.

	The IndyCar season kicked off with a Bourdais/Dale Coyne upset in St. Pete. In Cup today, Truex snatched the win from Keselowski in the last couple of laps while Kyle Busch and Joey Logano got into each other on track and then back into each other on pit road, courtesy of a slug from Kyle. Oh boy...

	Pretty impressive run from Bourdais yesterday, started dead last and ended up in victory lane! It seems Honda and Chevy are pretty evenly matched so far this year. Been watching the WRC again this year, for the first time in a long time it's actually worth while (and free streaming on the Red Bull TV site) with some pretty beastly cars and 3 winners in the first 3 rallies from 3 different manufactures. F1 should be good this year, Ferrari look like a genuine threat to Mercedes this time.
	Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

	And a bit of a change to the look of the Force India, shouldn't be hard to spot this year.

	I like the pink more than their usual livery. A little more color and less drab grey/silver on the grid is a good thing.

	^ As much as I like Silver, I do agree there.

	I like the pink strangely, certainly a lot more than the silver and balck they've had recently, though the black and orange of 2014 was their best IMO.

	Yeah...idk there is just something about it. I'm not saying it's horrible, just compared to the other pictures in the thread, it doesn't ignite my pine trees, if you know what I mean. Some sort of je ne sais quoi I guess. Maybe if it was a brighter Pink I'd like it more.

	I've become quite a fan of Formula E these days. Sab Buemi just pulled off his third win a row in Argentina. Pretty impressive for a series where you have to stop to change cars mid race.

	Almost another snoozefest at Sebring apart from Corvette beating the big blue oval cars. Edited by SteveG - March 20 2017 at 04:09
