Applying old skool paint schemes to modern day F1 cars isn’t a new idea. But it will always be a very cool idea. We’re sure you’ll agree these creations, published by Escape Artist and based on a McLaren MP4/28, are a great example of retro style.
Looking at the Tyrrell 007 livery, for example, we wonder why more racing teams don’t take a simpler approach to their base colours. How good did the retro-inspired Greens-Tuf DJR Falcon look at Bathurst this year, as another example.
That said, the Brabham BT49 and Lotus 49 liveries are our favourites from this batch. How about you?

So damn cool! Thanks for posting these.
Brabham BT49 is the one for me. Clean and cool.

Can we see more? Please?
I like the old school Williams one, brings back memories. They should go back to that.
Awesome … stupid tobacco advertising laws.
