The Lilly car is VERY :cool:!
I like the retro look on the ASTJ cars.:thumbup:
I want a diecast of this one...

I like having the driver's name on the sidepod. It may not seem as "professional" as having a sponsor there, but it helps build recognition with the fans.
Manning and Lavin's cars remind me of de Ferran's Valvoline paint job back in 98(?) with Walker.
Jourdain's car has more red on it this year.

All in all, lookin' good. The Coyne cars could use some work though.

Well I’d say its MUCH better than last years paint job. Lets all remember that the only real significant difference between last year car and this years is the paintjob.

And the engine, and the wings, and the people driving them...

I haven't always done everything my dad told me to do, but one thing he said has always stuck with me. One day, when we were fishin', he looked me dead in the eye and said, "Son, whatever you do, don't ever, EVER call the boss 'Mr. Smartypants.' " :)

Holy Crap! It's GREAT to finally see a speed chart and some of the cars!:thumbup:

As for my team's cars....Since the name American Spirit is being used, I'd like to see something with the flag being used....like the blue field of stars flowing into the red and white stripes along the sidepods and nose.

I hope they come up with something more eye-catching than just that mostly dark blue car.

You could incorporate the logo into the design.

YES. Look at that logo and pretend you are looking down on at the top of the car. One side the flag, the other side the checkers. Awesome look! I'm gonna suggest it to the boys!

Remember the first year BAR F1 car with the two-sided (Lucky Strike on one side, 555 on the other) car. Butt Ugly!

I was thinking the same thing before I finished reading the thread.. THAT was not-so-much on paint..

The ASTJ cars would look even better if they have the team's website on the sidepods instead the driver's names. The name thing makes them look like McLaren wannabes.
