Superleague to test at Barcelona
The Superleague entrants will gather at Barcelona for a pre-season test day in July when the football clubs involved will launch their cars
The 20 clubs will unveil the liveries on their 750 horsepower, V12-engined Panoz chassis at the Spanish test on July 29, where the drivers are also expected to be announced.
Each colour scheme will be designed by Ian Hutchinson, who was responsible for several famous racing liveries, including the Silk Cut and Castrol-sponsored Jaguar sportscars, the 7Up Jordan Formula One car, and the Mild Seven-sponsored Benetton and Renault F1 cars.
For the series to hold the attention of football, as well as racing, fans each car must be instantly recognisable.
"This will be tricky because red and white seem to be very popular colours for football clubs and I have to make sure each team stands out on the track," said Hutchinson.
"You always get a lot of feedback about racing car liveries and this is certainly a unique challenge that I'm looking forward to."
