The Driver Suit Blog-Throwback Thursday-1974 #18 Ferrari 308 GT4

Jean-Louis Lafosse and Giancarlo Gagliardi 1974 #18 Ferrari 308 GT4

The Ferrari 308 GT4 is normally a great looking car. Add in the front and rear spoilers, and the car takes on the appearance of being modified by amateurs. The paint scheme is decent, the red works, the white roof and tail doesn’t. I do like the stripe across the whole car. I give this car a C.

Teodoro Zeccoli and Jean-Claude Andruet 1974 #1 Ferrari 312P

The Ferrari 312P is a really boxy car. The shade of red works very well. The blue and white stripe across the whole car works very well too. The car looks very good across the board, both in design and look, and it earns an A.

Raymond Touroul and Jean-Pierre Rouget 1973 #22 Porsche 910

The Porsche 910 is a very streamlined car with a very good look. The car not having a tail does look odd. The color scheme is decent, but the yellow could be much darker, which would work well with the black stripe across the bottom. It’s a decent look, but it could be better, so I’ll give it a C+

Patrick Depailler and Bob Wollek 1973 #14 Matra-Simca MS670B

The Simca MS670B is a very nice looking car, though I don’t like the way the tail is setup, as opposed to the MS670. This car has a nice shade of blue across the whole car. There is also a dull yellow stripe that extends from the front to the brake duct. There is also a white stripe across the whole car. The dull yellow is also on the rear fins. The paint scheme works very well. The car design does distract from a nice paint scheme, and the car as a whole is worth an A-

Jacky Ickx and Brian Redman 1973 #15 Ferrari 312PB

The Ferrari 312PB is a really small and really boxy car. While Ferarri has a great color scheme, the pointless gray takes away from the red and yellow. The odd yellow stripes on the side, as well as the yellow front take away from this look further. The tail does work here. All in all, this is a forgettable look, and it’s worth a C.

Sylvain Garant,Jürgen Barth, and Michael Keyser 1972 #41 Porsche 911S

How much more iconic can you get for Porsche than the Porsche 911S? The 911 is a great looking car. Yet for some reason, the owners of this particular 911 decided to paint it in a mediocre shade of yellow, then add a couple of yellow logos that are almost invisible, and you have a C- scheme.

Henri Pescarolo and Graham Hill 1972 #15 Matra-Simca MS670

The Simca MS670 is a very nice looking car. This car has a nice shade of blue across the whole car. There is also a dull yellow stripe that extends from the front to the brake duct. There is also a white stripe across the whole car. The dull yellow is also on the rear fins. The whole car works very well. It’s a good look, with a design and color scheme that works, and it earns an A.

Hughes de Fierlandt,Jorge de Bagration,and Mário de Araújo Cabral 1972 #7 Lola T280

The T280 is much boxier than many of the other cars of the era. It’s not awful looking, nor is it an amazing looking car. Add a really bad shade of yellow, and a series of logos seemingly randomly placed, and a shade of blue that doesn’t really work with the shade of yellow, and you have a car that just doesn’t work. It’s not a great look, and it’s worth an F.

The Driver Suit Blog-Throwback Thursday-1971 #23 Porsche 917/20

Reinhold Jöst and Willi Kauhsen 1971 #23 Porsche 917/20 “Pink Pig”

This is a redesigned version of the Porsche 917, known as “Der Trüffeljäger von Zuffenhausen”(The Truffelhunter of Zuffenhausen) or Pink Pig. I love the way the car design looks, and I also love the fact that there are different pork cuts painted across the whole car. It’s a bold idea, but it’s well executed, and it looks great! A

Dr. Helmut Marko and Gijs van Lennep 1971 #22 Porsche 917K

The newer version of the Porsche 917K has two large fins on the rear, which help with aerodynamics, and unintentionally made the car look better as a result. Add in the Martini paint scheme which has looked great on every car it has ever been painted on, and you have an amazing looking car. I also like how the door numbers fit the scheme well, and aren’t printed on circles. This is a car that’s worth an A.
