[N.O.T]

so only ford had a new livery and the rest half-arse it...

Yep, not quite sure what to make of Hyundai's and Citroën's new liveries, they both feel random.

M-Sport head & shoulders above the rest

Agree, the Hyundai looks a random, busy mess. Especially around the front quarter, below the headlights . . Looks like someone has just thrown a tin of red paint at it.
The Citroen looked much better the previous years. I know they had to add redbull livery, which imo looks cack, but don't think the red works. I like the livery of RB F1 cars and KTM MotoGP so think it would have been better like those, as changing the front from black to red has emphasized the fact the front looks like a bus.

liveries for me

Toyota

Hyundai

Citroen


Hyundai and Citroen have made it so much worse

+1

Moreover Hyundai again presented the car with different wheel colors in front and rear which is a combination feasible only for display but not onstages.

The Fiesta WRC looks really lovely!

Opinions, opinions etc... but I think they all look shit. Hard to pick a winner, maybe the Ford, maybe the Citroen.

It’s hard to understand why the WRC teams seem to struggle to get this right and have done for a while now.

There are stacks of examples of well designed liveries out there, some in rallying and some in other fields (see a lot of the Le Mans Porsche GT cars as examples).

It speaks volumes that all of the WRC cars look better in their plain white test liveries.

Could do better.

Blegh, that Hyundai! The orange looks like the car has some sort of allergic reaction that gets worse every year...

I personally loooove the Citroen's livery! It's a bold change, nice colors too.

[doubled1978]

For me the Citroen one is ok, could do with a bit more Blue at the front as the Red makes it look huge. They didn't help themselves by presenting the car in gravel spec when the others were in Tarmac trim.
The Ford is reasonable, probably what I expected it to look like more or less if they weren't announcing a new sponsor.
The Hyundai they have tried to make the same basic livery a bit more exciting, which they sort of have...but the minute it gets on the stages all the changes will be lost anyway.
I never liked the Toyota Gazoo colours much, even on the LMP car...and this is the same. Changing the dive plane to white does as least make the Panasonic sticker look like it is meant to be there.
