What corporate sponsor would make for a great racing livery?

The Gulf light blue and orange. The John Player Special black and gold. The Martini light blue, dark blue and red over white. So many of the best-looking and most memorable racing liveries came from corporate sponsorship. So, I ask you, what company do you think would make for a great looking livery?

My nomination is the second-best cheap beer in the northeast: Genessee Cream Ale. Just look at the can:

All you'd have to do is turn it on its side. Just imagine it. That great shade of metallic green, the thin white stripe in the front, the thick white stripe on the back and that rad stylized barley plant on the door. The can already looks like a race car.

Let's see yours!

Going with beer again

It would be kinda John Player Special-ish, but it could totally be done.

I'd love to see one that was black on the bottom, with a cream colored roof.

My late dads favorite beer. I kind of like Dr. Pepper's different shades of maroon though, but if you allowed music sponsorship, Jimi Hendrix's different shades of purple and orange would be awesome!

Hard mode: No alcohol or tobacco sponsorships allowed.

Let's see what would look good on a modern F1/LMP car that would actually be allowed.

Apple:

EDIT: Inb4 there already is an Apple livery .

Magic Hat would be a pretty badass sponsor.

Sidenote: Currently drinking Genesee Cream Ale.

Nvidia. The whole body in the black/gray stripe pattern, the green stripe along the bottom, the Geforce logo on the rear flanks.

Never realized Chaparral was sponsored by Apple. That's some back to the future style sponsorship.

Was it you who suggested this a while ago? I had this can and an alfa on my desktop for the longest time thinking of trying to photoshop it, but the gradients are a pain and I gave up.

Since Genny Cream is taken, I'm going with Moab Nut Brown

Possibly. I remember posting it a while back. And that label would be rad.

I imagine a simplified version of this.

I'll see if I can make one for Live for Speed, or Assetto Corsa.

Let's assume the Hong Kong Tourism board was cool enough to lend its city's taxi livery to a racecar.

As long as we're talking about music, a Floyd livery would be pretty cool, especially if they do one for their 50th anniversary.

I'd like to see a Peter Saville livery (he's done most, if not all, of Factory Record's album art) someday as well.

Instantly found two I'd deem worthy candidates.

#1: Engelbert Strauss; manufacturer of working gear, protective clothing, tools etc.

Their main scheme works with black/red and that ostrich pictogram (="Strauss"), which makes for an awesome firebird surrogate.

#2: BOSS Orange brand

You know, honestly, I don't really care what industry, don't really care what the livery, I just want corporations to throw millions of sponsorship dollars into sportscar racing so we have have another arms race like the 1980s.

I'm think fossil fuels versus renewables.

I like the Newcastle idea, especially with their current tagline: "No Bollocks"

Using the Chrome logo would be a good choice, too.

What an awesome question. Kudos to you, sir.

First thing that came to mind was Loudmouth Golf. Because:

Due to the way things are going in college football, I'm sure a Nike or Under Armor car would be awesome.

I also dig Bacardi's color scheme, and that bat would look good at 200 mph.

Sailor Jerry would be awesome. Cover that bitch with tats.

I want to watch that catch fire. It would be fitting.

Also, having the nose in green would be a nice touch.

Unfortunately that's the only photo I have of it, I since sold the xbox and Forza. The rear was green and the very back had drips as if the sriracha was blowing backwards.

In the same vein, but girlier: Vera Bradley or Lilly Pulitzer.

Not gonna lie, I sort of want a helmet in the "Peacock" print:

Lilly prints get even more nuts sometimes:

Flamingo car? Yes. Flamingo car. Please let me have the flamingo car.

Fisher-Price. The Puffalump Bunnywagen livery desperately needs to be on a GT3 Cup car.

Lol. This would be incredible. I'm just barely comfortable enough with my manhood that I would rock the shit out of a helmet in either of those prints.
