Renault R27 Launch

We’re playing catch-up here this week at GP junkie. Last week we missed a couple of launches while helping out one of our sister sites, UFCjunkie.com prepare for the Spike TV event and for this week’s UFC pay-per-view event. Check the site out for all the UFC news you could possibly need.

While we were away, Renault had one of the most “successful” launches to date. The R27 looks to be a remarkable progression from last year’s championship winning car. If you remember, we managed to get a sneak peek at the car a couple of weeks ago. Though it kept an all blue and yellow paint job. Renault was keeping us guessing as to how the new title sponsor’s, ING, colors would be incorporated into the car.

After seeing the photos, all I can say is, “wow.” For those of you that don’t remember you childhood art classes, blue and orange are complimentary colors on the color wheel. And in this case, they really make the car pop!

Apparently there are some folks out there that don’t care too much for the new livery, check out this image found on one of the boards after the launch:
