The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-April 28, 2018
By David G. Firestone Landon Cassill #00 Sparks Energy Chevy Camaro-Good color scheme, but I think that the whole motif is over done. It’s not great, but not awful at the same time.

Jo Siffert and Derek Bell 1971 #17 Porsche 917LH Porsche’s 917LH is a beautiful car, that has a really streamlined look.

The Driver Suit Blog-Paint Scheme Grades-April 21, 2018
By David G. Firestone Landon Cassill #00 TW Cable/Superior Essex Chevy Camaro-It’s a smooth, solid look, with a great color scheme. A scheme like this will always earn an A.

Hans Herrmann and Richard Attwood 1970 #23 Porsche 917K The Porsche 917K is a decent looking car, not as polished as the 917L. It has a decent look, but I’m not a fan of the tail design. The shade of red used is not too dark, and not too light, which doesn’t work, since darker […]
