Well Chris, orange is -more or less- our national (Dutch) color. I've seen the cars up close in the RfH-factory and I think the mechanics have done a stunning job re-lettering the Dome in such a livery with vinyl only. I think it looks a lot more attractive up close, and it gives more room and attention for major sponsors aswell.
The tiny thing that worries me is the quality of the vinyl, it's a cheaper version (50-series, for those who know what I'm on about) of the 3M-vinyl. Personally I would have used a quality at least one step higher, just gives more security around the areas which needed to be heated to 'melt' around the bends. Then again I haven't that much experience lettering carbon-fibre vehicles, so my worry could be ungrounded.

As for the livery itselves, this does look very good to me 8) >>>

As Paddy said, orange is the national colour of the Netherlands - remember the orange Spykers?

I assume the numbers are for reference points for potential sponsers, ala Dome?

Works now. It's because of the spaces in it. If you preface a URL which has spaces with the letters url in square brackets then put forward slash url in square brackets at the end then it works. Or use www.tinyurl.com to make a small link name. Smokie

Hmm, that link doesn't seem to work. It's on www.racingforholland.com the Dutch version, left hand banner about becoming a sponsor.

You can also read the english version of our group on that same site!

LOL - i like the article on fans preparation for Le Mans .... especially Jan Lammers theory about the designated driver sipping his mineral water ....  ;)
