Well we should be able to spot the Force India cars with no problem!
-
I t might go down as one of the uglies of all time in
my opinion.Yuck
-
I dunno Dare at least it stands out from the crowd, you're just denying your feminine side. :tease:
I'm sure we'll all love it if it's fast. :D

Who knows the pink scheme might draw in fans we never
had before.Wonder what Perez thinks of it?
-
My vote goes in the FUGLY column :sick:
-
Not sure if I like it or hate it. Closer to hating it though.
-
ANY color is pretty on a race car if it brings enough sponsor money with it. ;)
Besides, there have been famous pink race cars. Take this pink 1956 Ford for example. It was the first race ride for somebody who became famous as a tough guy in a black car - Dale Earnhardt, Sr.
-
I like it (and I'm not usually a fan of pink). Certainly better than the "poor man's McLaren" beta livery.
-
Rick Mears made his first Indy 500 start in this beauty

It's not even the colour that bothers me, it's the cartoon like BWT logo on the side pod that I find more offensive (that said, I'm all for new money in F1, so I'll just ignore it).
-
Sponsorship is all about getting noticed and your product or company seen and Force India have certainly achieved that so good on them. :good:
-
Some other pink cars and helmets in F1:

I'm chief flag marshal for Port Nelson Motorcycle Street Races and once a competitor turned up for scrutinering with a pink helmet and said he needed a new helmet and his girlfriend offered to buy him one which she did and when he asked her "why pink" she said its so I can pick you out among all the other riders and it certainly did that.
-
It is all about money.
Personally, I don't much care for it, but I have no money invested in the team so my opinion is of no importance to them.
-
Pink is not my favorite color, but I have no problem with it. The more variety on the grid the better.
-
There re worse things to have on a race car:

If it makes them stand out from the crowd then all well and good. If it's good for sponsors then surely it's good for the sport?
-
Force India has struggled with finances.
If some big money comes along and says we are painting the car pink . . .
One thing is certain, it will definitely get the sponsor noticed, and no doubt talked about. Since they generally run mid-pack and higher, they will get camera time and they will absolutely stand out from the other cars.
It has nothing to do with speed of the car.
Cha-cha had a pink car. I think even the spark plug wires were pink.
-
You know of course she hated the nickname Cha Cha. Thought it was a bit sexual and demeaning.
-
Yes, I know.
I liked her a lot, and I liked the nickname too.
-
Great call on the camera time - be interesting to see, certainly in the first race, how much camera time they get for taking a more radical colour option.
-
I think that the colour scheme is okay. A little watery perhaps, but at least it's different.
-
Think the color looks better in photo's than on tv.It's
not pink enough
-
My little boy is 3 years old. He said Daddy, why is that one pink? Racing cars aren't pink! ::)
Bless him. I don't think it looks too bad, though it does look like it should be sponsored by Pepto Bismol.
-

That's what you get for being sponsored by a water company, Force India :DD
-
I didn't even realise this when I made that comment :D.
-
They all looked watery in FP1 & FP2 yesterday.
-
Some swimming required!
