Special Liveries

Now that EA have added the Silverstone Chrome McLaren alongside the racesuits - and made it so freely accessible; being available in Career as a one-off, or permanent livery, as well as Grand Prix and Time Trial (this accessibility is something I, and many others, ADORE).

With this feature now so positively recieved, and so clearly a fan-favourite; can we please add the White Red Bull, Monaco-McLaren livery, the Pink VCARB, as well as the Japan + Canada Haas livery.

As a player, it makes it so much more refreshing to have the option to drive these alternate liveries in career and Grand Prix at any track, or even as a one off at the tracks they were actually used. 

 

PLEASE EA, PLEASE ADD THESE LIVERIES. YOU'VE ADDED ONE, AND IT WAS A HIT. WHY STOP THERE? ADD THEM ALL!!!!!! (The Japan Haas + Red Bull, as well as the Monaco-McLaren are my favourites, so pls add them).

    Obviously the more stuff in the game, the better!   So if they include more things, great.   They'd probably have to get the teams signoff though as it's their image rights and I don't think EA would be able to use it willy-nilly even if it appears in the season.  Not sure whether that'll be covered in a licence thing, or if it's just a good-faith that they'll represent the teams as they'd want to be represented. 

    I'd prefer legacy liveries myself.  I don't use F1 world so having liveries for Grand Prix and Time Trial is pretty useless for me.  I would happily use them in My Team career... if they were different to the teams.   I don't have any interest in having two very similar McLaren liveries running around the track as my team doesn't have any affiliation to McLaren and I don't want 4 McLaren looking cars.   A similar principle would be for most other cars, If it doesn't look drastically different to all other cars already on the grid then it's worthless.   The problem I have with the Red Bulls and VCARBs are the annoying Red Bull logos, as once again even if they look very different to their normal teams base livery, my team is not affiliated with them so it'd be weird. 

    So i'd prefer Liveries from yesteryear that look realistic and like they'd work on a grid... because they were actually once on a grid.   However, I think that would come with sponsorship issues and they'd be virtually blank so not great, but i'd be happy to just have them as a base with the fake sponsors used instead.    Naturally, if they had a good customisation for the liveries in the first place then that would be preferable but that's just never going to happen. 

    I'd expect to see more throughout the year. Usually Ferrari around Monza gets a bigger window of fun livery but I don't think they're ever usable for the player.
