Default The Highcroft Acura looks VERY green!

I don't think it's on Sebring's site yet, but DSC has an image of the 08 official Sebring poster, and it features the #2 Audi, #20 Dyson Porsche, #62 Ferrari, and a VERY green (with black and blue trim) liveried Highcroft Acura, along with a Penske Porsche and Corvette in the background.

I hope we get a livery something like that because I think the LMPs need a dose of excitement on the color side of things. There are too many silver, white, and blue LMPs, so bright green will be awesome to see!

I also noticed that the "scoreboard" is sticking up in the corner showing the top 5 positions and it reads 2, 07, 7, 26, 16. I wonder who 07 is?

Not quite as dark as the poster on DSC I think.

You'd think ALMS or Sebring would have art work up on their own site before someone else would have it. Wouldn't you? I could be wrong.

You'd of thought! But it is still not up at either site.

I did see the photo on the ALMS homepage, and it burned my retinas.

I assume all 3 Acuras will have the blue at the top, but I think it looks really out of place with the green. They should make it green like the rest.

I don't know, it almost has that team look with the AGR XM livery. Blue coc-pit with black body and off setting sponsor color scheme. Now maybe we will see the Lowes Fernandez car the same way with the Lowes colors across the front and as highlights.(?)
