China Racing will show off a new livery tomorrow at the Long Beach race.

The team has just announced the creation of a new partnership, called NextEV, which will take the team into constructor status for season two. NextEV branding will feature prominently on the racing cars, prompting changes to the team’s current sparkly red paintwork.

These pictures taken yesterday in the China Racing garage at Long Beach show a very different approach, featuring a lot of silver and black. The new colourway has been designed by British design firm Pangaea Creative, which was also responsible for the vibrant blue suit worn by Amlin Aguri cars.
