You’re my favorite place to ask about esoteric and obscure racing liveries.

I need a new XB1 controller and want to make another racing livery themed one. My current controller is my take on the Martini Racing livery. And I have the Forza 6 Limited Edition XB1, which is very blue.

Gulf Racing is the obvious choice, but I feel it is too obvious. I want something a little more unique.

EDIT: This also has to be made using the colors available in the MS Xbox Controller Lab. And I cannot split colors across sections of the controller, nor can I do patterns without using stickers.

Rothmans Porsche. Almost the same color of blue. Or the Player’s livery from the late 80's. Calsonic might work too. Michael Waltrip’s Napa livery perhaps?

The Williams 555/Lucky Strike livery from 1999. Or, just the Lucky Strike livery.

I’ve edited the post to reflect the limited abilities of the Xbox Lab configurator .

Though, that Porsche 917 might work within the limits of their system.

I know what you’re working with, as I’ve been kicking around the idea of ordering a couple of custom controllers in racing colors too.  I was trying to find liveries with 3 distinct colors that would be relatively easy to identify.  The 917 would just be red, white and black (borrowing the color of the numbers, here).  Certainly you won’t be able to get the pattern of the 787B replicated exactly, but green, orange and white might get the point across.  Or yellow, red and black from the Corvette.

Was Rothmans ever obscure?

Nissan Calsonic would look cool IMO. Or you could take inspiration from Shakotan cars & make your own livery.
