    I hope Honda don't keep that livery as Repsol sales are going to plummet lol

    Did any body actually like it ?

    I know what you mean, bloody awful ! Not much thought went into that design . . . But seeing their crew wearing t-shirts at the end with 100 on the front, take it it's some anniversary for Repsol?

    No, that was the IQ of the graphic designer.

    Fingers crossed that there are no designers listening in, but I deal with them every day and the concept of the emperors new clothes was never so apt. The implication is that if you don't think the idea is brilliant, its because you're stupid.

    The iPhone advert, 'If you don't have an iPhone........' the unfinished psyche implication is '.........then you're a nobody'. See how it works.

    Sorry Dan.LOL

    "During the creative conceptualization process, artist and fashion designer Delfin was inspired by superheroes with the riders bestowed with superhuman strengths. The result is a design characterized by stars partnered with the Repsol logo, giving the livery a unique personality"

    What a load of old rollocks. I bet he gave a 6 year old a picture of a bike & a box of crayons, came back 5 minutes later, faxed it to HRC & charged the $1m USD for the privilege

    What they need to do is get Aldo Drudi to design one.
