Gulf, Martini, JPS. Motorsport has plenty of great liveries and the most famous are usually found in Formula 1 or at Le Mans, but touring car racing also has plenty of iconic colour schemes.
We’ve been compiling various British Touring Car top 10s in recent weeks and now it’s the turn of the greatest liveries that have appeared in the championship since it began in 1958.
Of course, this is even more subjective than our usual rankings, so apologies in advance if your favourite hasn’t made the cut. Hopefully you’ll still like some of our 10.
One key point is that the liveries chosen must have appeared in the BTCC for a reasonable length of time. We’re not looking at one-offs (a different list?! – ed) or legendary schemes that occasionally dipped in. So that means no Texaco black-and-red, as appeared on the Eggenberger Ford Sierra RS500s on their rare raids in 1988…
Key cars: Vauxhall Vectra (Super Touring and S2000), Vauxhall Astra Coupe, Vauxhall Astra Sport Hatch
