I don't like the black bonnet much, think they should have just kept the black at the rear. Other than that, I think it looks quite good
At least the livery looks finished this year: I thought Petter's 2016 DS3 looked like someone had got interrupted midway through the livery and not been able to finish! :smiley:
Yeah I really didn't like last year's, was just boring and didn't look that great. I've seen some photos where I like the polo, but I've seen others where it looks a little like they've got the front half of one livery and the back half of another. I'm undecided yet

Agreed. I personally think they should've gone blue for the bonnet. Looking good otherwise.

I don't know what, but something just doesn't work for me in that livery, maybe that blue in combination with the green Monster logo, idk, but it looks a bit off... or is it just me?

Agreed. It's like "ok guys, we have to merge two liveries together as best we can".

Well in two weeks time I can tell you how good (or bad) it looks in person...

...I can't wait!

Sadly my work isn't related to rallycross (well not directly), so just 'cos! I believe my application for accreditation has been successful though, so hopefully I should be able to get a few pictures!

From micrometers and calipers up to CNC scanning machines but I mainly do the hand tools and things like the calipers. Been here almost 2 years and its gotten so dull, no progression, no variety, no nothing. Looking elsewhere currently, job hunting is tiring lol

Better than running CNC machines! Haha, hopefully I'll be finding something new soon.

Also hoping to get my first proper fix of racing this weekend filth some F1 stockcars, can't bloody wait!

Ah, I see! I have limited dealings with measuring companies (mainly for tool calibration), doesn't seem like an industry where there is a huge amount of variety, but then there is always going to be repetition at work, no matter what you do.

I'll admit, I'm not keen on oval racing much except the banger racing, the F1 stockcars are cooler than the regular stock cars though. Spoilers at an angle just trigger my liking of a mirror image though xD

Sadly the F1's races at Wimbledon for the last time ever last month, the congestion charge is too expensive to get the transporters in for the drivers. Plus Wimbledon stadium is under threat for development. We are hopefully off to Kings Lynn this weekend!

Im hoping to go to Lydden in may for the world rx too

Do it! 
Hopefully we will do, I haven't been since the world rx started, so it would be good to go again, last time it was Euro rx

And in answer to your question @SirPhilMcKraken we're just watching! I wouldn't have the balls to do what they do! Haha! My grandad used to race back in the 60's/70's though

I'd like to go to it as well, was going to go to the British RX Championship at Lydden in September I think last year but didn't as I had stuff to do. I might try and go to round 2 of the BRX as well in April if anyone wants to meet up

Ah fair enough, thats cool though! Absolutely none of my family are really into motorsport except the few times we went to Wimbledon to watch the Bangers on Boxing Day, theres something theraputic about watching cars smash into each other haha.

It's a damn shame that the World round isn't a European round as well, but it should still be a decent entry @RallyDriven. I'm hoping that Andrew Jordan can put on a good show in the MJP Fiesta!

I'll definitely be at both British Championship rounds at Lydden this year @SirPhilMcKraken!

Banger racing is always entertaining, it's sometimes on the same weekends as f1's so I see it occasionally. Those guys are complete nutters though! Stockcars are more tactical with their contact, and do have some incredibly good races. Although when you are allowed to use the bumpers, things do get a bit aggressive!

Lydden is pretty likely, I was maybe going to go traveling in the summer, so as long as I'm still in the country, I'll be going to it!

Agreed. It's like "ok guys, we have to merge two liveries together as best we can".
It's the mullet of supercar liveries: Volkswagen Sweden in the front, PSRX in the back.
