Historically, livery has been the defining feature of noble attire, distinguished by its unique colours. Today, this tradition has found a new canvas in the world of automobiles. In the past, in racing, identification was not tied to noble houses but to nations. The iconic blue of Bugatti for instance, was not merely a whim of Ettore Bugatti but an adherence to regulations. The same goes for the red of Italian Ferraris - as well as Alfa Romeo and Maserati – albeit in different shades – or the green of British Jaguars and Aston Martins. Only the Germans interpreted the rule of national livery, which was white for them, in a way that served the competitiveness of their cars: to reduce weight, they renounced the use of paint completely and became silver.
Red, white and blue: true American spirit.
With this rule now gone due to the arrival of sponsors, the era of distinctive liveries characterized by their colours began, with cars turned into packs of cigarettes or petrol stations. Think of JPS for Lotus and the iconic blue and orange Gulf Porsches.
Ferrari-Style: three-colour stripe.
In short, personalizing your racing car with a distinctive livery has become a rule. Hence, Roarington's idea to offer the same opportunity to those who purchase one of its driving simulators. Upon request, the two simulators designed by Pininfarina and Zagato can be delivered with a customized livery chosen by the customer. It can be colours that reference real automobiles, such as a beloved car from their own collection, or simply colours that resonate with them, or why not, inspired by their ancestral lineage, whether factual or imagined.
Green and gold: in memory of Ayrton Senna.
Even race numbers, which have now become the "property" of certain champions, think of Valentino Rossi's 46 and Lewis Hamilton's 44, can be requested. We all have a lucky number or one we like, so why not request the simulator with that number?
The images on these pages are examples of how a livery not only personalizes but also adds more “vigour” and sportiness to your simulator. __Roarington is ready. All you have to do is ask. __
Grey and red: German silver with an Italian heart.
