Bit early for April's fools, @Paul Jeffrey

I liked it, breaks the boredom and monotony that currently exists in f1

Too true. Let's hope the racing won't be as this year too

Went from looking quite dull to being one of the best looking cars on the grid. If used correctly, pink is such a beautiful colour. Shame it's not used more frequently because some people think "pink is for girls".

 

[Paul Jeffrey]

Agree with that. The pink actually makes the car look pretty damn good now. One thing is for sure, at least the cameras will pick it up on the broadcast and the team will get some good exposure from it.

Well done FI I say, it's a great idea to get more air time and looks like it's worked a treat!

^ This exactly. The car looked so dull and hideous in it's usual boring grey livery when it was unveiled but now OMG it looks too damn cute. I like it. Tickles my fancy Just right, no joke my favourite livery for the 650S GT3 is the Attempto Racing's clean Hello Kitty livery (look it up ). Couldn't care less about all the stuck up people that are gonna say "eww girly colour gonna give me cooties" or some such bollocks.

 

[William Levesque]

YES !

Best looking car on the grid.

Force India have got their Pink Panther, now all they need is Inspector Clouseau of motorsport: the one and only Pastor Maldonado.

 

[Mr Latte]

Nice liverly, look forward to seeing it ontrack but think some of the drivers are gonna take the ..... seeing Sergio in pink overalls.

 

[LeSunTzu]

That livery is beautiful. I hope it will look as good on the race track as on that render.

 

[Helmut Skrdla]

I just read up on BWT and what the company is actually selling, as even as Austrian I never heard of them.
This is the most stupid blatant modern-age hippy ripoff product ever.
But okay, the car looks decent.

 

[joe pineapples]

 

[Andrew Harper]

Well certainly looks different!

Maybe a deep metallic pink or pearl effect that would look cool I think, rather than a solid colour but hey it's only a rendering from the design team so it will be interesting to see the finished product.

Andy Blackmore must be doing his nut with all the new cars this year, spotter guide designers nightmare!

 

[Andrew Harper]

Lol. Brilliant!

I was actually thinking it would be cool to have Pink Panther liveried car!

(Sorry, I always liked that car in the cartoon when I was a kid!)

 

[Deleted member 6919]

Yes it is, but I prefer to go by Jim where possible online

Awesome surname dude.

 

[Deleted member 6919]

I think the funniest quote has to be..

Force India have also confirmed that their drivers, Sergio Perez and Esteban Ocon, will wear pink helmets "to complement the unique BWT pink car".

In my very first racing game ever, Nacsar2, when I realized I could do my own skins that's what I did: A Pink Panther themed car.
I also thought the Force India was an April Fool's thingy, but no, these Austrians they sponsor German Team Mücke as well: https://www.bwt.de/de/BWT/Presse/Pr...eichen-für-eine-erfolgreiche-Saison-2017.aspx
and there, the formula cars are called Pink Panthers as they rightly should.

I reckon they should resurrect the SEGA Sonic driver legs on the Williams cars from '93 and have Pink Panther legs on the car instead!
