Post by: Ade on March 05, 2008, 10:19:45 pm
Spyker Squadron – the factory GT2 team -, in partnership with its title sponsor SNORAS Bank and Speedy Racing, is proud to present its latest GT2 racer for the most famous and grueling race on the planet: the 24-Hours of Le Mans. In 2008 and 2009 Spyker Squadron will compete with two Spyker C8 Laviolette GT2Rs in both the Le Mans Series (LMS) and the 24-Hours of Le Mans.

Well I don't really care whether an orange or a blue/yellow car is making up the back of the field and dropping out in the morning.

Spyker and Snoras a match made in heaven  ::)

Shame about the Rebellion sponsorship being a Suisse company - For me it should have been the Rebellion Beer Company in Marlow. Cant have everything i suppose!

As I posted on an onter forum, an orange lion stands out very nicely on a blue surface.... ;)  ;D

Shame the orange and silver has gone....but this new combination is not exactly harmful to the eye.

I would be very (but pleasantly) surprised if Spyker let us sponsor them :-\

Somebody else knows Rebellion!

Does it travel or are you local?

Blonde is a particular favourite of mine.

Now that's a mess. Good to see that Andrea Chiesa got out of that OK.

I think it looks great and in my opinion it's a step towards maturity, not being just a Dutch car with all the orange. I liked the car in orange, don't get me wrong, but I doesn't really get them anywhere. I take it these are the colours of the sponsor and I take it they've paid enough to get the car in this livery. That's better news than an orange car with a lack of sponsors.

Pieter, this car now has a lack of sponsors' livery ( Burnt marketing) and most certainly glowed orange whilst burning.  :-X

No disrespect, but glad to Andrea got out OK.

Yellow is nearly Orange.

Blue, well that's True Blue - blood flowing through you veins to mark heritage.

The flames were orage though.
