Yes, I can quite understand what was going through the mind of Kyle Busch at that point.

Not the best livery for what was MG's first year back in the BTCC.

Most of today's BTCC liveries seem to be incohesive messes, like the designs are formulated just by slapping each different sponsor's decals on the car and leaving it as is. There's no clear colour scheme apart from some of the beemers that run a version of the M colours.

But man, that 156 is terrible... One of the best looking 4 door saloons made (I'm biased as I own one :) ) and that makes it look like a cheap Chinese made knock-off diecast toy...

I know, it was the first really ugly livery I could think of that wasn't F1, it looks absolutely horrible.

You're right about BTCC liveries. Only Motorbase ever seem to actually make an effort these days.

Or this.
Part of a commercial. Kyle, Denny Hamlin (it's Denny time...) and Joey Logano all had their own part in a commercial
