Explaining better: Apart from Martini, Marlboro, Jägermeister and other obvious choices, what often forgotten livery is your favorite? I pick Tic Tac Racing and Deutsche Post Racing, both great liveries which deserve more recognition:

Does this count as forgotten?

Otherwise:

Basically, the red-white-blue of BRE and Nissan official.

I don't know how forgotten it is, but I've always liked the black and gold John Player Special livery.

I always loved old Tide livery in NASCAR.

Fortunately, the JPS livery is one of the most iconic ones around.

I've always loved the Pozzi livery on the Ferrari 512 BB LM

Toyota racing colors are pretty awesome, too

I miss old school Hot Wheels racing liveries.

They looked so good.

BASF. I think the M1 and the Sauber C6 are the only cars that have featured it though.

For whatever reason I was obsessed with this livery when I was a kid building models. I had at least 10 of them and I wasn't even a big NASCAR fan.

Still looks good.

Great! I had forgot about BASF colors! Nice point ;)

In my opinion, Aerocoupes are bulbous blights on the Monte Carlo world. Second rate patchwork engineering and design by GM because the T-bird was slipperier. For me, Notch, or nothing sir.

I love seeing any old race car on the track.

I'm stretching it but

I'm going off the total lack of anything NASCAR around here. Simple and it stands out without being garish. Also gold numbers with a turned finish.

I've seen this car in person a few times. It is epic.

I always really liked the Peugeot Camel from the late 80's.

And to keep the 80's feel going...

TRD's Corolla livery

No vintage super stockers so here are a couple Z11 Chevys. I love the keep off warning on the 63 impala.

I love the Tic Tac livery. Always fun to go through old albums on Motorsport and check out some of the older, very dated schemes.

Hatsune Miku BMW Z4. I could fill the list with anime sponsored cars . I am not even lying

The Canon Livery off of the William's 80s and 90s cars

So simply, yet so bad ass. Even the slightly more colorful one

L&M Liveries on Porsche 917/10 and some Lolas

Player's . Canadian team marketing to Canadians, and the pretty shades of blue & white match my avatar.

Screw Martini, have you ever seen the Group 5 Lancia Montecarlo Turbos?

I like the blue one best but the red and black car is a close second.

Lotus' Gold leaf comes to mind.

As do the old Minolta Toyota racers:

The Benetton F1 cars don't get enough love. They are definitely a product of their time, but I've always liked this livery.

The Toyota WRC Castrol livery is another one that doesn't get enough love.

And finally one that is so associated with MotoGP that you don't think of it on a rally car.

If you GIS "Repsol" and scroll way down through about 100 bikes you'll come across this gem.

Awesome! I know absolutely nothing about it and just assumed that somebody painted up a 962 (or replica) in Repsol colors because they thought it would look good. The Rothmans livery is just so much a part of the 962 that I don't think of other liveries on them.

Whatever this one is. I like it, but I'm not sure if it is "forgotten."

That, or this Halleroder one.
