So what do you really think about the new layout for the 2022 cars? Personally I am old school and having a hard time liking the new style.
To me the number placement just looks really awkward. I like the way touring cars are laid out but not this.I like the design of the cars, especially the symmetry. Not sure on the movement of the numbers, because no one is truly utilizing extra space, as its not leading to increased sponsorship exposure
I like the new cars my issue is the number placement. If they wanted the side to be a billboard then move the numbers to the back window. Like with the touring cars. The touring cars have some of the best paint jobs ever.
Need to be moved up to the back side windows like in Touring cars. Touring car sponsors get the most bang for their buck than in any other motorsport venue.This. I don't care if the numbers are centered, but I think they look all sorts of wrong/stupid up front.
Don't let Rollo hear you say this lol. If I had to choose between the number being up front or on the window I would have to go with up front. They are really hard to see and most sports that use them standardize the number font to make them slightly easier to see.I like the new cars my issue is the number placement.

Think about it do you really look at the number of the car or the paint scheme? Think about what attracts you to a car it's the scheme.Don't let Rollo hear you say this lol.

Some teams do a great job with the number placement, but I think designers of these schemes are so used to the old placement that they just haven't gotten used to making a good scheme with it (or the teams aren't good at picking the good scheme out of the bunch, it's not like it is all the designer's fault)
Completely understand that sentiment, and part of the problem with other series (like SuperCars or the Peak Mexico Series) is that they often have two cars with the exact same scheme, so it is tough to pick out which one is which.Think about it do you really look at the number of the car or the paint scheme?

I see where you are coming from.Completely understand that sentiment, and part of the problem with other series (like SuperCars or the Peak Mexico Series) is that they often have two cars with the exact same scheme, so it is tough to pick out which one is which.
But my feeling is that it would be less of a problem in NASCAR if this was still before the mid 2000s when all the cars had the same scheme the whole year. It is kind of tough picking out which car you are looking at when there all these one off schemes every race. Plus the number has become a big part of the team's identity, I can get around the number moving, but I still want to be able to see it.
That is just me though, I can definitely admit that you can get some great schemes where the number doesn't get in the way.
