Close inspection of Andy Blackmore’s IMSA Spotters Guide for this weekend’s 6 Hours of the Glen at http://www.spotterguides.com revealed that it isn’t only Mazda that is fielding a ‘Retro’ Livery.

The #25 BMW MG GTLM will sport a livery in tribute to long-time BMW stalwarts Prototype Technology Group, Tom Milner’s team provided much of BMW’s front-line punch in North America with various iterations of M3 in both ALMS and Grand-Am competition.

And our run through some of the other retro liveries of the modern era has stirred the pot somewhat with a number of others being suggested by readers.

2015 – Phoenix Racing Audi R8 LMS – Phoenix Racing’s tribute to the infamous 2000 Audi R8 ‘Crocodile’ livery appeared for the 2015 Bathurst 12 Hours.

2015 Gunnar Racing Porsche RS Spyder – The always entertaining Kevin Jeannette and co. appeared at Rennsport Reunion in 2015 with the ex Solaroli Motorport Porsche RS Spyder in this lovely tribute to the halcyon days of Porsche in Can-Am.

2016 ‘LARK’ McLaren P1 GTR – Not a race car, but still very lovely as the owner of the LARK liveried short-tail McLaren F1 GTR completes the set!

Lamborgini Huracan Super Trofeo – In 2003 Daytona 24 Hours winning Retro TRG livery



2006 Zolder 24 Hours Prospeed Porsche 911 GT-RS – In glorious ‘Pink Pig’ 917 livery!

Nurburgring Circuit Liveries Down Through the Years! Save the Ring stalwart Mike Frison perhaps predictably pulled this one out of his back pocket!

Sauber Mercedes Silver Arrows – And Johannes Gauglica correctly identified the Group C Sauber Mercedes efforts in their all-over Silver liveries as perhaps the ultimate ‘Retro’ Livery.
