Put in those votes and let's see who wins the 'Unofficial 2018 Livery Competition'. Voting ends 25 March.
Only votes to the poll count and you just get one so use it wisely.

[Maustinsj]

1. Owen

2. Frood 1

3. Jeeves

[Nonesuch]

Thanks for the quick start to the voting, and the tolerance shown to the submissions from the colonies.

 

Are we voting just for the one, or for a top three like in previous years?

1. Disgrace 4

2. Owen

I dare not imagine what happens if that hick mobile should actually win the competition. 

[Nonesuch]

I'm going with:

1. Disgrace 2 - It's a bit understated, but it works. Assuming a bit more white in the way Renault currently has their yellow on top, this would make a fine real-world livery.
2. Frood 2 - Now there's an eye-catcher. Great integration of the corporate style into the livery.
3. Danmills - Who doesn't like P&O Ferries? Or sea lions? Or a submarine instead of a T-cam?

only poll votes count I'm afraid. And you just get one of those. 

[Afterburner]

Jeeves... that’s genius...

[Ramon69]

I'm not a fan of either of them in particular, no because they are bad takes, cause they aren't, just none works well for, but if I had to choose I'd go with the Disgrace 3 Livery... what can I say? I love Guiness!

No love (apart from mine) to the Milka mobile? I'm shocked

I reckon it would be accumulating more points under the old system as it was my second favourite, and perhaps for others too. I'm just glad someone liked the brown IndyCar.

Yep.

Ok so the poll isn't working... Bear with me, I've contacted the moderators.

Reinstated. Any previous voting data will have been lost though.

I hate fixed polls

I’m glad you are open about it though, most fixed polls tries to hide the fact that they are fixed.

Ok, so we had a slight technical issue with the poll. The poll is restored and back - but if you voted before - it sadly has not counted. 

 

SO; you get one vote. Use it wisely. Only votes on the poll count. Voting starts.... NOW! (honest).

 

Humble apologies for the faff and technical gremlins. Voting ends 25 March.

[RainyAfterlifeDaylight]

... faff ...

faff (plural faffs) (Britain, slang) An overcomplicated task, especially one perceived as a waste of time. Adjusting this television is a bit of a faff. (typically in the phrase 'in a faff') a state of confused or frantic activity; a flap.

[nosecone]

Vote: Maustinsj

 

Surely the car will be winning so much they will be tired of winning. Furthermore the team will be a able to hire the elite of Trump University. The Mexican GP is just across the wall

[ThomasBB]

Thank you for your great efforts Owen.

 

I've voted for Nonesuch, even though Disgrace 4/5 (Indy template) look clearly superior imo. If we could get an F1 template of this quality I believe there would be many more entrants. Nonetheless: well done everyone!

[jonpollak]

I hate fixed polls

 

You can say that again...

 

The way it's supposed to work is you vote for your TOP 3 (like many respondents already have)

Then the OP tabulates the votes based on ...

1st:  3 pts

2nd: 2 pts

3rd: 1 pt

 

Right?

[Cavalier53]

I voted Milka - and immediately opened a Milka Daim package. That is how marketing is supposed to work

 

If only I could have purchased Parmalat in my country, or had a use for Ceramici Pagnossin, at the time. Still my favorites, admitting I did buy some Yardley products at the time. And Old Barber's of course.

New rules :-)

[Lipp]

well obviously there can only be one winner and that is Danmills as he is the only one that shopped in a driver. (and a periscope for that matter...)

[YoungGun]

Some posters have to much time on their hands .... but practice makes perfect. 

 

For creativity Jeeves wins hands down.

[CSquared]

Some of the comedy entries are genius, and several of these are nice-looking liveries. However, if I vote based on which livery I'd most like to see on a real race car and which one I think would really stand out on an F1 grid, it's Frood2's Milka livery for sure.

[Hanzo]

Disgrace 3 FTW

[RainyAfterlifeDaylight]

People, Please vote for me.

 

If I won:

• Formula1 would be all free to air.
• Ticket prices would be 1/3 of current prices and always free food and drink.
• There would also be official test coverage.
• I would make sure that both WDC and WCC would go down to the wire.
• I would make sure of fair money distribution for all the teams.
• I would help poor teams by giving them my own income.
• Cars and tracks would be exactly to your taste.
• No more Fixed Polls.
• Last but not least, Your wish, would be my command.

1. Owen - too brilliant to ignore
2. Danmills - too whimsical and silly to ignore
3. jonpollak - would blow up the F1 zeitgeist

[SwedeForceOne]

Owens is just loltastically awesome, easy win for me! Honorary mention for Disgrace 4 which looks like a cool realistic livery.

True geniuses are never appreciated within their own lifetimes.

[paulb]

I suddenly realized the jeeves jenius.

If there was justice, that would be on the grid.

[BalanceUT]

I voted based on which I thought was most attractive. I didn't consider that I should vote on which one insulted the FIA best... silly me.

 

Because I am silly, and I see that some are listing top three based on old voting style of this competition, I still vote based on the three I like best as most attractive:

 

1) Young Gun

2) Disgrace 3

3) Disgrace 5

 

There are tons of other anti-halo threads...

Sorry, the Hershey-DW12 was just too cool and old school to pass.

Delighted to see such a tight voting! Still all to play for here - I mean one could easily hire twenty Nigerians and have them register a forum account, right?

 

Seriously impressed about the number of votes for the Achilles (thank you, thank you..), though I was expecting my full-on-populistic approach to yield an even better result by now.

 

Perhaps it's time to generate a secret plan B...

83 votes so far, let's get that above 100!
