Hi there. Although I haven't bought this book, I'd like to comment that nowadays the graphic design on racing cars (and planes, boats, etc) is dictated by the primary sponsor, isn't it? Formula One teams are really sponsored teams, i.e., Red Bull, so the colours and design identity of the primary sponsor prevails over everything else, spilling over to the garments worn by the drivers too. Other than that, as a graphic designer, it's an interesting topic. By the way, I immediately thought of the old Lotus race cars from the fifties, and also of the term "racing green", a shade of green that comes directly from the world of automobile racing. Cool stuff. Thanks for your review, Parka (Mr Teo?).
