The livery can absolutely transform a car can't it!
And it appears that success can make an otherwise fairly normal car become a thing of beautyDuncan Rollo

As far as F1 cars go. the Eagle-Westlake would be hard to top. This photo shows Dan Gurney in Spa winning form 1967.
I always thought it a shame that finances, or probably lack of them resulted in AAR concentrating on US Indy cars rather than F1. They were very successful and no doubt it was the correct business decision, but that was one beautiful machine.

For me, one of the best looking cars of all time was this -
The Reynard 863 Formula 3 car, from 1986. The 853 from the previous year and the 873 from the following year were just as good, with little cosmetic differences, it was just that Google Images produced a better picture using the 863 as reference.
Reynards first F3000 car, the 88D, was no pig-scarer either.
Nor, for that matter, was their FF2000 car from the mid-80's.

Begging my pardon. I've just realized that the Reynard I claimed to be an example of the FF2000 sort is actually an FF1600.
I will now go and flagellate myself until my sin has been absolved.
I know, it is basically the same car but with the addition of wings, I just have OCD!
Now, this too was a nice F3 car, although it was a rare one.

Tänak got 20 points closer to Evans, but as the main reason was a bad rally for Evans, I would say that Evans lost 20 points to Tänak, not Tänak gained. The point is, if the other one does not...
