Tribute to Champ Car - #07 Champ Car Panoz DP01 by Cowtown Bob



Much like Goobers' effort, Cowtown Bob designed a possible showcar. Similar to Goobers in the liberal use of the arrow featured in the Champ Car logo, the car has a simple, clean design and, like Goobers' car, has the arrows pointing forward, into a bright vision of the future that the series could never ultimately fulfill.

Fitting that the first first few posts will be of cars that feature Champ Car's own logo. It was over 2 years ago that the Panoz DP01 was launched in San Jose as a way of rebooting the series with a new car that was less expensive and more nimble than that Lola - a car that was designed to embrace that street circuits that were beginning to define the series at that point in time. Our crack team of artists were able to put together some great 2D and 3D templates in no time, and many of the first liveries were designed to be what the show car could look like. This was an effort by Goobers, and is a clean, simple design. '07 would be the last Champ Car season, rather than the first of a new era.

Welcome to the new FantasyLiveries.com

We took a year off. A year of mourning the end of the Champ Car World Series. But it's time to be back and better than ever.

Thanks to so many great contributions over the years, the previous website had become too large and burdensome to manage. The new site will be based here in Blogger, and will allow shorter publishing times and more commentary on each and every one of the over 1,000 beautiful liveries that comprise our great website.

Second, we're opening up to all racing series (except for one, and if you don't know, don't ask). With Champ Car coming to an end, this site will accept submissions from all major worldwide racing series, so let's restart the creativity. Champ Car, Atlantics, LeMans, WRC, FIA GT, Formula 1, Superleague, A1GP, Star Mazda, Formula BMW, F3000, GP2, World Series by Renault / Nissan, NASCAR Sprint Cup, NASCAR Nationwide, NASCAR Camping World Trucks, DTM, Formula Nippon, V8 Supercars, and any of the world's other great, real racing series.
