The finest colours to ever grace a racetrack! Far better than the factory Tench colours.... |

Here's my twopennyworth.
As much as I like the Gulf Racing colours, and there have been some stunning examples over the years, I don't like thr DBR9 in it. I have been coming back to these pictures since they were posted hoping that I would get to like them, but no, they are not for me. Keep them British Racing Greenish I say.

Great to see the Gulf colours on a beautiful car, but it just doesn't look right somehow. You know, with the funny orange outline at the nose, the stripe on the engine cover being a cone, no orange on the roof...

Teams running in Gulf colours have had little except misfortune in recent years. Think burning McLaren F1's etc.  I'm on Bob's side, I don't really like it. The curvaceous Aston doesn't lend itself to the iconic Gulf blue and orange colour scheme, which is best suited angular designs like the GT40 and Mirage Ford IMO. |

What about the orange on the nose of the green aston  The Gulf colours look great and I think it is a very good marketing move for Gulf too. |

An open question to all of you that like the Aston in Gulf colours.
Imagine this.
Your circumstances are such that you are in a position to be able to cash buy a DBR9. This is a dream come true. You intend to cruise down to Le Mans in it, turn up on the campsite on Wednesday morning and watch the admiring looks as you proudly park it next to lesser cars. You feel absolutely fantastic. You have driven to the World's greatest motor race in one of the World's greatest cars.
A week earlier you arrived at the Aston dealer and he had a choice of two.
One is in a beautiful shade of metallic green that perfectly reflects the history and racing heritage of a famous British marque. A colour that will always be associated with British motor sport.
The other is in a Putrid wishy washy gay hairdresser shade of sky blue.
Which one ya gonna buy?

I'd buy the one that is quicker to be delivered, then race it off to the nearest car painter and have it painted a beautiful shade of metallic pink  |
