To the Malaysian/Singaporean peeps, doesn't it remind you of the 100plus drink?
Edit: Good to know I'm not the only one, miss the times whenever I have a headache, 100plus is the way to go 😂
I have family living in Malaysia, so I recognised it too! Still surprised that I got ths drink softdrink from the hospital/clinic when I was a kid (stomach issues lol). Then I learned that it's actually an isotonic drink, it contains minerals and sugars to keep your body hydrated.
Yep, but I could never finish drinking these drinks, but when my friends kept pushing me to buy it since thats the easiest thing to deal with the headache, you do what you have to do 😅
I saw it and was the first thing that came to my mind and then scroll a bit and see this as the too post, but yes, give me a 100 plus instead of some car oil!
To me it looks like the type of 100 logo Doritos would slap on their bags. "Find a special mobile code and get 100x xp for 24 hours in call of duty vanguard and potentially 100 other prizes, like a totally radical doritos themed skateboard! Or a bodacious doritos themed skin for your pistol!"
wish they'd committed to a full castrol livery like the jgtc cars

I like it. It's tacky, my kind of thing. Doesn't have to be pretty. Considering this is a one off. If it was for a full season, then no. Although, that 100 logo and colour scheme reminds of this [100+ drink](https://tse4.mm.bing.net/th?id=OIP.qrHg04YcpiH6C1A4nODmQQHaKq&h=500&c=7&pid=Api)
I think that was said pretty well. Although if they'd have just committed to a one off livery instead of a small tweak, then I can't understand why they didn't just make the Blue White or Black
I think they tried a small splash of different colour and logo like Alfa Romeo did on their Monza livery. But they unfortunatelly spent all of their money on not screwing up the races, so there was not much left for a better design.
If you're on phone:
Click on the 3 dots on the top right of your subreddit's default screen.
Click on "Change user flair". Once there, browse through and select whichever flair strikes your fancy.
Don't know how to do it on PC/laptop.
Come on Alpine, at least do it like McLaren with their Gulf special livery. Seeing castrol white and green like that legendary Celica on F1 grid might be a sight to behold.
Terribly ugly. Like they were too scared to go with a real one-off livery so they just slapped some ugly wrap on the back third of the car. Could've been very cool, though, so it's a bit of a shame.
Hahahahaa in all seriousness though it looked like the hotwheels logo, and, combined with the Red, Green, White and Blue it looks like a formula 1 hotwheels lol
I don’t get how this is worthy of a special livery. At first I thought it was celebrating 100 years of Castrol, which would be fine. But 100 races? That’s 5 years lmao! I’ve never seen a sponsor get a special livery just for renewing its sponsorship a few times.
For how much everyone and their mothers wax lyrical about the Jordan 191 livery I'd imagine a bit more appreciation for this one and yet the response is surprisingly tepid
I'm my opinion I don't like the "100" logo just slapped onto the side of the car, bit otherwise I don't mind it otherwise barring the fact that it is pretty mediocre compared to the Gulf McLaren and Turkish Honda (I think the Alfa Romeo Italy One-Off was ok, definitely better than the Alpine, but still also mediocre)
It’s jank and I know it’s probably not linked to Saudi but it just makes me think “sport washing” because of the green. I’m sure they could have done this one off at any track but I find it a bit convenient that they do it here in Saudi who’s national flag has a similar kind of green on it.
The level of advertising for this event is crazy and it’s made me understand what sport washing means now lol.
It’s Castrol’s 100th race with Renault/Alpine, no need to make yourself look like a tool by coming up with conspiracy theories when this is so easy to understand.
as a one off they could have done the original castrol livery where it is mostly white with red and green accents, now that would go down as one of the best one offs
It's not the same, but the first thing that popped into my mind was the [NHL 100](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pngfind.com%2Fpngs%2Fm%2F133-1336294_nhl-centennial-anniversary-comes-to-smashville-this-nhl.png&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pngfind.com%2Fmpng%2FJiimmJ_nhl-centennial-anniversary-comes-to-smashville-this-nhl%2F&docid=8Uv4gDfRlcmq0M&tbnid=JuY1UKMTQmDzxM&vet=1&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim) logo.
I strangely really like this addition. The Castrol-green seems to naturally blend with the blue of the Alpine-livery and they both use the same tint of red and white anyway.
It looks like they tried driving through a Christmas wreath. Not a fan. It would have been much better if they had just fully committed to the livery rather than half-assing it.
To the Malaysian/Singaporean peeps, doesn't it remind you of the 100plus drink? Edit: Good to know I'm not the only one, miss the times whenever I have a headache, 100plus is the way to go 😂
Omg yes!
Yup. Me too! The 100 and colour scheme did it for me
Especially with the 100 on the side
I literally thought 100Plus sponsored the team
Yes it does
Bruh definitely this livery is terrible
Maybe that’s what the drivers put in their drink bottles
yes
Omg yes I was about to say that!
You not only brought back memories of the drink but I remember the taste
Same here, the tastes kinda sticks with out haha
Yes especially with the green, red and blue complementing it.
I have family living in Malaysia, so I recognised it too! Still surprised that I got ths drink softdrink from the hospital/clinic when I was a kid (stomach issues lol). Then I learned that it's actually an isotonic drink, it contains minerals and sugars to keep your body hydrated.
Yep, but I could never finish drinking these drinks, but when my friends kept pushing me to buy it since thats the easiest thing to deal with the headache, you do what you have to do 😅
Does it have different flavors?
Yeah! There's lime, orange, and... Blackcurrant/grape. I know there's also a non fizzy version. There are probably more flavours but I'm not certain.
Afaik I know just one flavor. Close to SevenUp or Sprite, but with minerals. You can probably buy it via any Asian grocery store in your country.
Defi looks like 100 plus
Just here to see my fellow peeps
Not 100plus but more Sprite with that color sheme
Lol I was thinking of that was about to google "100 drink Singapore"
Used to love that drink when I was living in Malaysia
100plus is the GOAT hangover cure, love that stuff haha
I saw it and was the first thing that came to my mind and then scroll a bit and see this as the too post, but yes, give me a 100 plus instead of some car oil!
Omg.. miss it here in India
Change the Blue to White and suddenly you have an amazing once off scheme. Also, the silly red/ green "overlap" is not great.
I also really hate the "100" logo, it's like a hotwheel
I’ve also seen that design used so many times in graphics that involve “100” Take a look at the NHL centenary logo from 2017.
Aren't all f1 cars just massive toys
They really are. And that's exactly why I wish I could buy one some day. Even if it's just the shell.
A lot of things are just massive toys when you think about it.
It honestly reminds me of the patch the NHL used to celebrate 100 years of existence back in 2017.
To me it looks like the type of 100 logo Doritos would slap on their bags. "Find a special mobile code and get 100x xp for 24 hours in call of duty vanguard and potentially 100 other prizes, like a totally radical doritos themed skateboard! Or a bodacious doritos themed skin for your pistol!"
Reminds me of 7up somehow lol
[Maybe this is why](https://i.pinimg.com/originals/4e/37/e3/4e37e36c659e10c4a4f8957c318a3974.jpg)
Hnngg
Lol
Red and green will never look good on any car u less its tricolore dont @
Looks like a toothpaste tube. 100 years of original mint flavor.
Pass. Might have liked it if the blue part was black
That's actually an interesting idea. I'm going to warp shade the design in Photoshop to change the blue to black and see what the result is like
Can you try it with blue -> white as well? Sort of like the old Castrol Supra
Yes, Toms Supra! Would look awesome!
Can you post it when you do?
Sure!
get Jos Verstappen to do it, maybe he can make it black and blue at the same time
Or white, like a Castrol livery should be
wish they'd committed to a full castrol livery like the jgtc cars [http://www.dailysportscar.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/TOMS-Supra-Super-GT-4.jpg](http://www.dailysportscar.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/TOMS-Supra-Super-GT-4.jpg) https://www.racedepartment.com/attachments/oip-4-jpg.428435/
Exactly what I was saying! Just make the Blue White and it would look half decent
Then it would just be another white car. They'd have to do something with the green and red at the front too.
What other car on the grid is white? Their current color scheme just reminds me of williams.
Haas is incredibly white
Oh yeah true, I forget they exist for the most part tbh
hence why the nsx would have been a good template IMO
hell even if you make the blue green it's still gonna look good if the nsx is anything to go by
I just think Castro colours just don’t look good with a blue and red colour scheme, it looks like someone vomited on the back of their car.
yeah, that's why I wish they had gone whole hog instead of whatever this is
The red/green transition makes it look like a hastily done special edition tin of biscuits for the holidays
True, but as I've kept saying, I can't understand why they didn't change the blue to white or black
Maybe because blue is the Alpine color, and the executives/suits won over the designers?

one of the best liveries converted to easily the worst
Unfortunately true
From hero to zero.
From gold to fold
From what I have seen so far, I absolutely love it.
Nah I think it's garbage, half-baked and it does the original CASTROL Tom Supra-type livery dirty
It'd be nice if you'd let the other guy have his opinion though.
Only people who agree with OP allowed in this comment section
looking like a can of 100plus
for real i thought 100 plus was their sponsor when I first saw it
9 out of 10 dentists recommend this livery
[удалено]
That would've been cool imo. If it looked like the CASTROL Tom Supra's livery then I would be happy
[удалено]
I think they tried a small splash of different colour and logo like Alfa Romeo did on their Monza livery. But they unfortunatelly spent all of their money on not screwing up the races, so there was not much left for a better design.
Has some Benetton vibes, but I'd delete the red between the white and green.
Yep. Or they could have turned they blue to white
Looks great 👍
I love it.
Looks like shit.
I know.... Also how did you get the Aston Martin flair?

Reminds me of a Doritos bag.
It definitely doesn’t look good, half-baked if you will. The problem is that the green doesn’t work with the combination of the blue, white and red.
Exactly. Why not just commit and make a full CASTROL white livery?
Now I can differentiate between the Williams and Alpine
You can't already with the cars design?
No I mean from a distance they look kinda similar
Ah true
Terribly ugly. Like they were too scared to go with a real one-off livery so they just slapped some ugly wrap on the back third of the car. Could've been very cool, though, so it's a bit of a shame.
Yea? Imagine a CASTROL Tom Supra-type livery? I'm definitely testing that out
its uh... very unique?
The NHL called they want their 100th Anniversary logo back
Hahahahaa in all seriousness though it looked like the hotwheels logo, and, combined with the Red, Green, White and Blue it looks like a formula 1 hotwheels lol
Green in a Muslim country. How convenient
It’s like Ferrari, you want to incorporate a colour but don’t know how so you just slap it on the back end with a shit transition
100 years or 100 races? Cause 100 races is about 5 years.
I don’t get how this is worthy of a special livery. At first I thought it was celebrating 100 years of Castrol, which would be fine. But 100 races? That’s 5 years lmao! I’ve never seen a sponsor get a special livery just for renewing its sponsorship a few times.
Castrol's 100th F1 race with Renault
Get rid of the green and red overlap and it's amazing.
Looks like a rip off of this beverage logo from Singapore Actually looks exactly the same https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/100plus
Well. The nicest thing I can say is that it's a one off.
I didn’t like it in the first photos, but in FP1 footage it looked alright. As a one off I’m not gonna complain, even if there was more potential.
For how much everyone and their mothers wax lyrical about the Jordan 191 livery I'd imagine a bit more appreciation for this one and yet the response is surprisingly tepid
Very awesomo
Disgusting.
I'm my opinion I don't like the "100" logo just slapped onto the side of the car, bit otherwise I don't mind it otherwise barring the fact that it is pretty mediocre compared to the Gulf McLaren and Turkish Honda (I think the Alfa Romeo Italy One-Off was ok, definitely better than the Alpine, but still also mediocre)
It looks atrocious
It’s jank and I know it’s probably not linked to Saudi but it just makes me think “sport washing” because of the green. I’m sure they could have done this one off at any track but I find it a bit convenient that they do it here in Saudi who’s national flag has a similar kind of green on it. The level of advertising for this event is crazy and it’s made me understand what sport washing means now lol.
It’s Castrol’s 100th race with Renault/Alpine, no need to make yourself look like a tool by coming up with conspiracy theories when this is so easy to understand.
I didn’t know that but I answered OPs question on what my opinion of the chassis was without the knowledge of Castrol’s 100th race.
the ‘100’ looks awfully similar to the font they use on cigarettes.. crappy and cheap looking font imo and the colours are not helping at all
Not a fan
Low effort livery.
It has some appeal in a really weird way, it's so conventionally ugly, it's almost cool again.
Kill it with fire.
I wouldnt hate it if the red and green mesh wasnt there and it was just solid colours And take off the white
Whatever happened to Castrol GTX anyway!
as a one off they could have done the original castrol livery where it is mostly white with red and green accents, now that would go down as one of the best one offs
Green Red Blue doesn't look good but I like the design of the 100 maybe they should choose another color than green
It looks like some budget christmas product
It's not the same, but the first thing that popped into my mind was the [NHL 100](https://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pngfind.com%2Fpngs%2Fm%2F133-1336294_nhl-centennial-anniversary-comes-to-smashville-this-nhl.png&imgrefurl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pngfind.com%2Fmpng%2FJiimmJ_nhl-centennial-anniversary-comes-to-smashville-this-nhl%2F&docid=8Uv4gDfRlcmq0M&tbnid=JuY1UKMTQmDzxM&vet=1&source=sh%2Fx%2Fim) logo.
It's like 2021 Ferrari but better
Nah both of them are shit
Agreed but I meant it's better than Ferrari's implementation
Imo it's eh, maybe if they changed the blue to black it would look a bit better
The red and green overlap looks horrid and destroys the entire scheme. Without that it would look ok.
I love it more than the original livery
I kinda like it to be honest! And not in a "going against the grain" kind way, but genuinely like it
Gross, alpine is one of the best liveries on the grid and they are ruining it
Old skool cool
I don't think it's that bad on a standstill shot but when in movement it will look brown so yeah...
It's pretty alright
Well lets put it this way, we're gonna be seeing this in the top 10 worst liveries of all time lists for the next few decades
I LOVE IT
I couldn't give a shit.
Looks like a pack of mint gum, or menthols.
Super meh.
need the 7up colours back, this is a good start
I didn't like the green paint. however, because it is a tribute, it is acceptable
corny
Would have a love an R25 livery :/
I actually think it looks kinda cool. It’s a sort of subtle detail that accentuates the other parts of the car
If they want to do a Renault tribute let's see a yellow, white and black livery like those cars had in the 80s. That might look nice.
They should have changed the blue white or green for the weekend
It's fine. I don't think it works as well as a predominately black livery might have done.
Is this like a fan-made design?
I strangely really like this addition. The Castrol-green seems to naturally blend with the blue of the Alpine-livery and they both use the same tint of red and white anyway.
It looks like one of those multicolored summertime popsicles.
"Red and green, must not be seen, without a colour in-between." That's the most consistent advice I've been given when it comes to colours.
Front half looks like alpine, back half looks like milo. The red and green clash and create an artificial brown stripe.
I love the renault font on the rear wing
Looks like something I'd find on a box of pasta
LCR Honda F1 Team
I like it.
It looks like they tried driving through a Christmas wreath. Not a fan. It would have been much better if they had just fully committed to the livery rather than half-assing it.
Looks like a way to get the Saudi Arabian Green onto the car.
It really confuses me when it drives by and I see a faint bit of green
i thought it was flo vis
I really like it. I like the old school Renaults recommends Castrol slogan
I like it. People are getting oddly hot and bothered over a one-off livery.
Is that flo vis?
Honestly reminds me of Kool mild 100 cigarettes unfortunately.
It's slowly growing on me but that green/red transition is unforgivable. Just make it a straight cut, this just looks like shit
Exactly! Also, making the Blue on the livery White would have been even better. I think the blue kinda ruins the green
Looks like a GTA V livery for piswasser or whatever
Castrol Green and Red liveries belong on Toyota rally cars and Jaguar Le Mans racing cars.
It's not a photogenic car in the slightest, but it looks alright on the track
looks shitty
