They have - 2008 Force India looked very similar.
But it wasn't the reflective shiny gold colour that the Force used, was it?

I have noticed a bit of a theme on the last page of this thread - phoenix likes pink cars but nobody else does. Here is the selected evidence:

No contest.

You're talking about something else than cars, mate.
And here's one final picture to try and prove you wrong, phoenix! If you think this looks good, please,
please,
please show me what you think is the ultimate in hedious liveries.
Its only redeeming feature in my book is its Union flag roof...
EDIT: Oh, and the fact that it's an Abarth...

OK, let's set the record straight. I don't have anything against pink, as long as it doesn't clash with a colour that doesn't match. In this case, I have to give the livery a thumbs down.

I think the general consensus is that you are by yourself in the enjoyment of pink on a racing car in any quantity. Unless I can be proved wrong. Anyone?

To be honest, if those twirls weren't that silly, I'd have no problems about that livery. Though I understand why Alex Lloyd was (probably) the laughing stock of the paddock.
But THIS, this is beautiful pink work

I just remembered... In Spain you don't get the original sound in the film, everything is dubbed in Spanish. Well, that's the original dialog anyway.

Possibly the exception to prove the rule.
POSSIBLY.

I actually quite like these two cars - Team McGrath and HER - and I'd be much more willing to drive them than the hot-pink-and-black LMP pasted a page or two back.

I wouldn't have any problems if the car was black, red, blue, white or gold either.

Black on black. Semi-gloss black exterior, matt black alloys, black interior, shades. Hell, I'd even get a tan.

An F1 field full of Andrea Modas and HRTs? (Cars in black...) From a rejects perspective, bring it on.
From an aesthetic point of view, I would prefer a rainbow of colours... in which PINK WAS ABSENT.
Thank you.

Arden's GP2/GP3 livery - bright orange with a blue and white streak that goes against the contours of the car - is fairly rubbish.

OK. Close enough though, isn't it? After all, I would enjoy an Andrea Moda/HRT Grand Prix, wouldn't I? And how many other F1 teams ran in black?

Sauber 1993
Shadow
Lotus (with a hint of JPS gold)
Kojima
I'm sure there are more but that all I can think of just now.

Minardi was also pretty much black between 2001-2003 and 2005.
