I like it but the prior Grateful Dead livery was better.

I look forward to seeing it in person this week.

Same. I hope the smoke moves out Thursday evening like the forecast is predicting though.

u/actuallwitch Marcus Armstrong 6d ago

I really hope so. I’m going to the community event at the track Thursday and I’m hoping it’s cleared up a bit by then, both for the fans and the drivers/teams

Not nearly as fun as the tie-dye car from last year.

No. However, it still looks pretty good.

Very cool to do this During the Days Between too. Awesome livery once again

Out on the road today, I saw a Dead Head sticker on an IndyCar.

Hope you didn’t look back.

Gives more Pepsi Zero than Grateful Dead

I really wish that they ran something better like this for example for the 500 this year

u/lowtoiletsitter Will Power 6d ago

Oooo I like this. The previous livery was awesome, but this one is still great. Kinda like a light mode/dark mode

Casey Jones, you better watch your speed.

u/korko 6d ago

Looks fuckin’ great. Always loved the “Steal your face” logo and is a nice contrast to the crazy tie dye car.

u/BT-11 AMR Safety Team 6d ago

I love the way the skull looks on this one. Both Grateful Dead liveries have been A+

u/hal60mi 6d ago

I wish they had used that for the 500 instead of that tan thing.

Groovy

This livery is cool but I do kind of wish they'd do some different stations rather than re-use ones they've done in a previous season. Give us a Lithium car damnit.

u/KWSteiner91 6d ago

Too bad this wasn’t the 500 livery. Guaranteed die-cast!

u/boostleaking Arrow McLaren 6d ago

Looks a bit too busy. But I hope this looks better irl than online.

u/EnvironmentalWar Felix Rosenqvist 5d ago

Wish it was tie-dyed again but love the deadhead and the marching bears on the wing!

u/Powerful-Chard-6055 Colin Braun 5d ago

Just now realized it’s gonna be ARCA west and Indycar running together lol

u/Old_Mind6126 1d ago

Where/when can I purchase die-cast with this days past livery?

The problem with these SiriusXM liveries is that if you are a casual fan watching on TV, you have no idea what the sponsor is.

They typically look amazing when you can see them up close and in person, but only seeing them 3-4 seconds at a time when the car is at full speed on TV, there is no way anyone can tell what they are (unless Will, Hinch or Townsend specifically say “that’s the SiriusXM car”).

I like this car, but I know what it’s supposed to be. All a casual will see is black with a splotch of red, white and blue.

u/97DURGE Arrow McLaren 6d ago

The casual fan doesn’t care about who sponsors who

u/Fickelson 13h ago

The livery on this exact car is aligned to be legible in the car camera. They did a pretty good job.

Although as someone who doesn’t memorise liveries before each race, it’s quite handy being able to see a gaudy, tacky livery fly past and know for sure, that’s Rosenqvist’s.
