The Driver Suit Blog-Throwback Thursday-Patrick Depailler-1978

Posted on by dgf2099

Patrick Depailler, sports an early in-car camera in his 1978 #4 ELF Tyrrell-Ford 008

The blue and white color scheme works very well here. I do think that the ELF OIL logos are a bit too big. The FIRST NATIONAL CITY TRAVELERS CHECKS logo looks good, if a little large. Also, it’s 2017, do people still use travelers checks? I also love seeing a car that is designed to be as aerodynamically perfect, but has a large camera that wrecks that aerodynamically. I give it a B+

I'm just a normal guy who collects race-worn driver suits, helmets, sheet metal, and other race-worn items. I will use this blog to help collectors, and race fans alike understand the various aspects of driver suits and helmets, and commentate on paint schemes.
